‘White Night – An Adman’s Story’ by Kevin Sacco (Josephine) is a biographical tale in the day of the life of Kevin’s father, a copywriter in New York City during the ‘Golden Age’ of advertising. On its face, this may not sound exciting or worth a read; a sentiment I shared before I began going through the pages. However, as I continued to read I was sucked into this story of a man making a living for his family in a New York City now gone. The tale is called ‘White Knight’ as this is the day that Kevin’s father came up with the White Knight ad campaign for Ajax, a tale he often told.
In short, I’m touched that Kevin Sacco chose to share this story with all of us and I must admit that it has found a place in my heart. This is not the usual stuff of comic books and graphic novels yet it is every bit as important and part of the genre as any Batman or Spider-Man story. Sequential art is a powerful medium that can be used to tell any number of stories in effective ways and ‘White Knight’ is a fine example of that.
