  Flight Of The Raven

Here's an interesting find from a graphic novel about a female French resistance fighter. There seem to be a few stills from the novel with her picking along the rooftop with only one shoe on and the cover has her climbing some kind of precarious ladder. This picture is not a shoe loss per se, but she has her shoe off to comfort what looks like a sore foot. Wonder if the shoe slides off that pitched roof, leaving her in one shoe afterwards?

This is actually a very long shoe loss scene. She throws away her right slipper after its heel broke.
It is interesting how she decided to keep her other left slipper on after she throws away her right slipper.
And she even joked about how she dreamed to become cinderella as a child now this dream has come true.

Wow! I scanned through the novel and that one shoe sequence was incredible! Just like my main female character in my novel winds up one-shoed, although she never gets a new pair of shoes! Love how the girl also seems to hang onto her hat throughout until near the end, but winds up with a new one after giving hers to the male lead in the story (Very French thing to do!) I might actually buy the novel now to put in my archive and read more thouroughly at a later point. One thing: she breaks her heel on page 17 of the story, but I never saw where she threw her broken shoe away. Was there a page where that was shown? Anyway, this certainly qualifies as a real gem.

Odd that the scene I originally found shows her with her left shoe off. Must have been transposed somwhere.

Had a little fun with Photoshop and put her in what I think were better looking shoes for the time period. Even broke her heel if you look close. I don't think wedges were a thing in 1944. What do you think?
