American Gargoyles: Save The Wentworth

by Neil Cohen

Overview

The American Gargoyles have one mission: to save their home. The once-celebrated but now-forgotten Wentworth Building is targeted for destruction by an egomaniacal developer who wants to knock it down to build a giant mirror so he can look at himself all day. Working together, the sooty statues go from being ignored stone carvings to brave and brainy heroes cheered by the entire city.

Editorial Reviews

…the zany tale…[is] a raucous call-out to a vision of New York City that is, alas, fading fast, but clearly still has some mischievous life in it.
