    The Prohibition-era speakeasy Lackadaisy barely hangs on in 1927 St. Louis, fending off fellow gangsters at the end of a tommy gun. The cult classic, Eisner Award-nominated webcomic, finally available in a keepsake collected edition!

    "A historically detailed and profoundly weird world, with dynamic art and nonstop mayhem purring along." — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

    "Beautifully captures the visual style of the Jazz Age.” — BOOKLIST

    It’s 1927 and Prohibition is in full effect in St. Louis, Missouri. Organized crime has risen to meet the relentless demand for illicit alcohol. Bootleggers, gangsters, and might-makes-right rule dominate the city’s underworld, fueled by the patrons of speakeasies — speakeasies like Lackadaisy.
    Hidden under the unassuming Little Daisy Cafe and run by the widowed and strong-willed Mitzi May, Lackadaisy holds its own in a rough-and-ready world, where you're either holding the gun or taking the bullet. But will tenacity, class, and a little bit of crazy be enough to ensure the survival of Mitzi and her gang?
    A keepsake collected edition of the cult classic, Eisner Award-nominated webcomic!
