On the eve of the release of his latest movie, The Lady From Shanghai, Orson Welles receives a gift: An admirer has sent him a box of cigars. Rich and full bodied, they are the finest he’s ever tasted. But then, these are no ordinary cigars: They’ve been assembled by the most famous cigar roller in Cuba, Conchita Marquez. It is an exquisite gift, though one not appreciated by Welles’s wife, Rita Hayworth. As he smokes these most coveted of cigars, he daydreams about the plump genius Conchita Marquez, whose story of triumph, despair, and love unfolds within the pages of this stunning and imaginative graphic novel.

From Booklist:
*Starred Review* Like any fine fabulist, Camus plays fast and loose with history, pretending not only that Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth were still together when The Lady from Shanghai came out in 1948 but also that Columbia studio boss Harry Cohn, a notorious tightwad, gave Welles a box of priceless Havanas for a movie he’d cut by an hour and spat out as a B picture. Those stretchers are relatively insignificant, however, within the lovely and ludicrous romance that follows. Orson knows from one puff that these babies were rolled by Cuban legend Conchita Marquez, whose sad story he recalls. She was a modest young woman of ample size who married her boss, not for love but to maximize his profits. She became allergic to tobacco, however, for which she was sent to Europe to be cured. During the Atlantic crossing, she met a pipe-carving sailor, the love of her life. Alas, it’s a doomed love, at least in this life. How the torcedor and the sailor come to be reunited in Welles’ study constitutes the rest of the tall tale, which is lofted to dizzying heights by the supple lines, imaginative layouts, and joyous, colorful energy of Abadzis’ masterful artwork. --Ray Olson
