Jett Cropper's best friend dies from a bad roast laced with chicory. He uproots the whole town to find the roaster behind this mess, this Emerald City Tamper, no matter the cost.
As a novel of words and pictures, Cold Brewed tells a classic film noir story in a prohibition-era world where coffee is currency. Cold Brewed uses silent film techniques, but favors classy black and white photographs over pencil sketches--a grittier grandson of the narrative form in Selznick's books like "The Invention of Hugo Cabret."
Shot in and around Joplin, Missouri, Cold Brewed testifies to the art revival happening in our formerly tornado-devastated town.

Told through both words and pictures, Cold Brewed takes place in a classic prohibition-era world where coffee is currency. The story uses silent film and film noir techniques, but favors classy black and white photographs over pencil sketches--a grittier grandson of the narrative form developed in Selznick's books "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" and "Wonderstruck."
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the digital ARC! This book has a great story and great photography. What’s done here in this book was very creative but I didn’t care for it very much. However, it was short and it was something different to read. -
Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this graphic novel by @lencelotSchaubert
This was a very interesting read, I highly enjoyed seeing real photos overdrawn or digital was a nice refreshing change which I feel gave the story more of a realistic touch and drew me in more to what was happening. You can see the author of this has put a lot of work into this and I appreciated it for what it was and how the story played out.
I would suggest this for others to read and enjoy the ride it takes u on -
The way this was written combined with the photographs gave me an old timey, old school feeling really. Thank you to Net Galley and the publishers for this advance reader copy.
