I had jet black hair and a smile as big as day.'� Readers and moviegoers have read and seen many growing-up-in-the-big- city-then-being-drafted-into-World-War-II tales, both real and fictional, but none with the visual pizazz and feisty humor of Lucky in Love .

Chieffet (script) and veteran cartoonist and animator Stephen DeStefano (plot and art), Lucky in Love is almost the flipside to dramatic works on the same theme such as Alan's War and You'll Never Know .
