Mythologies and Apocrypha #2

The second issue of Mythologies & Apocrypha continues Tim Lane’s exploration into the mythology of celebrity in America with “Steve McQueen & Frank Sinatra in America,” focusing on the friendship between Frank Sinatra and Steve McQueen, and their corresponding but differing popular appeal. Lane also depicts the early life of McQueen and his life with his neglectful and alcoholic mother, presented in the style of 1930s childrens cartoons and comics, as seen through the eyes of a middle-aged McQueen recalling his childhood.
