Emily Schultz,Nate Powell
Welcome to 1984 and the town of South Wakefield. Chris Lane is 14 and he's sure that he can see the future, or at least guess what's inside of Christie Brinkley's mind. But he can't foresee the closing of Joyland, the townâ€™s only video arcade. With the arcadeâ€™s passing comes a summer of teenage lust, violence, and a search for new entertainment. Never far away is Chrisâ€™s younger sister, Tammy, who plays spy to the events that will change the lives of her family and town forever. Joyland is a novel about the impossibility of knowing the future. Schultz bring the Cold War home in a novel set to the digital pulse of video games and the echoes of hair metal. Joyland is illustrated throughout by graphic novelist Nate Powell, whose work has been praised by Sin City creator Frank Miller as â€œobservant, intimate cartooning [that] surgically cuts to the bone.â€
