Lackadaisy Volume 1 is a digital comic set in St. Louis in the 1920s. The city is dry on the surface during Prohibition, but an underground industry is filling the gaps.

Book Overview

Lackadaisy Volume 1 follows the fortunes of a St. Louis speakeasy during Prohibition. The story begins as national Prohibition changes the city, shutting down its once-prosperous breweries and giving rise to an underground trade. Atlas May operates an unassuming restaurant that also serves as a portal into the extensive maze of limestone caves below St. Louis, and his establishment becomes one of the city’s most prominent speakeasies.

After Atlas May meets a violent end, his widow and the remaining organization are left to navigate shaken loyalties, pressing competition, and an uncertain future. By 1927, only a handful of speakeasies survive, and the Lackadaisy struggles to continue in a dangerous and shifting world.
