Bad Girls | Alex De Campi, Victor Santos

In this heart-pounding, starkly colored, and visually stunning graphic novel, three women have twelve hours to get out of Cuba with six-million dollars on the night of New Years Eve 1958. Gangsters moll Carole, jazz singer Taffy, and mambo queen Ana all have their reasons for needing to escape the El Eden Casino in Havana. And on the tumultuous night of New Years Eve, when Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista flees the country and the nation falls to Fidel Castro, they get their chance...with the help of six suitcases filled with stolen dirty money. Of course, its one thing to get the cash...and quite another to get off the island alive. From the Eisner-nominated writer Alex de Campi and virtuoso artist Victor Santos, this story of three strong and multifaceted women struggling to leave their pasts behind in a tension-filled getaway is timely, fast-paced, and gripping.

Got a bit confused tbh. Interesting snapshot into the lives of 4 women on the night that Castro comes to power in Cuba.

Not my favorite graphic novel. The illustration was very vibrant and entertaining but I think this needed more to the story. It jumped in and went so fast that I got confused and by the end wasn‘t positive what it was completely about. This was just okay for me.

I just read this #arc from #netgalley. It‘s a graphic novel set in Cuba on New Years Eve in 1958. I found the panels a little hard to follow and it was a fast-paced story. From how it left off I‘m assuming this is a stand alone as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
