Parade (with Fireworks) is a two-issue comic book mini-series by Brooklyn based writer-artist Mike Cavallaro.

[1] Parade (with Fireworks) was originally a webcomic published one page at a time, for free, on Act-i-vate,[2] but proved popular enough to interest a traditional print-comic publisher, Image Comics' ShadowLine imprint, in releasing an edition (with only slight alterations from the original).

[3] According to Cavallaro, the plot is based on the true stories of his own family's history, specifically an event that occurred in his father's home town Maropati in 1923.

Returning home, Paolo gets involved in the conflict between local members of Italy's fascist NFP and his family, which supports the socialist cause.

He winds up in hiding after killing one of the belligerent fascists during their violent confrontation with his family on the evening of the Feast of the Epiphany.
