SYNOPSIS: When middle-class Singaporean student Lu Zhao is invited to spend a summer on Long Island with his rich cousin, Tommy, before attending Columbia University in the fall, his assimilation into the opulent American lifestyle straps him into a collision course fueled by designer drugs, sex, deceit, and murder. Set in present-day Long Island, GATSBY reimagines F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel as an LGBTQ-tinged, multicultural thriller for the Internet age.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jeremy Holt is a non-binary author whose works include Made in Korea, Virtually Yours, and Before Houdini. An original art page from After Houdini was acquired by The Houdini Museum of NYC, where it now hangs in its permanent collection. Their graphic novel, Skip to the End, was one of three works of fiction that The New York Times included in an in-depth expose on the 25th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death. They have also received high praise from Kelly Sue DeConnick and Brian K. Vaughan.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Brazilian-born and raised artist Felipe Cunha’s clean, modern style continues to make new fans with every page of his masterful storytelling across publishers such as Image Comics, IDW, Dynamite, and now AWA, where he helps bring the new roaring ’20s to life in GATSBY.
