City of Light, City of Dark: A Comic Book Novel #[nn]

This collected edition presents Avi's graphic novel, a single cohesive story rather than a serialized comic. The narrative follows two children in a futuristic New York City, one from the wealthy Upper City and one from the impoverished Lower City, as they uncover a conspiracy involving the city's stolen light source. Illustrated by Brian Floca, the book blends science fiction and social commentary into a complete graphic novel experience originally published by Orchard Books in 1993.
