"Terry LaBan is a #Philadelphia-based #cartoonist who has #published #comicbook series, had internationally #syndicated strips and, at the end of 2024, published “Mendel the Mess-Up,” a #children’s #graphicnovel that tells the story of a boy who works to save his Eastern European village from the Cossacks.

“Mendel the Mess-Up,” distributed by Penguin Random House, is rooted in his grandfather’s experience, but not based on it.
