47 Down, 5 To Go ("James Sturm's America: God, Gold And Golems") (52 Books, 52 Weeks)
A couple of years ago I read James Sturm's graphic novel, The Golem's Mighty Swing, and was impressed by his subtle storytelling and emotive drawings (reminiscent of Chester Brown). James Sturm's America: God, Gold And Golems collects that story along with two other classic tales of America's past, the country's largest revival (1801 in rural Kentucky) and the story of a late 19th century mining town. With his pen, Sturm manages to show both the best and worst sides of the human condition, and manages to make these stories timeless.
