I went into this with no background knowledge of Philip K. Dick other than the well-known fact that he is the creator of classics like "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and "The Man in the High Castle." Now having read this, I have discovered both someone I found to be a tragic figure (especially in regards to his family life), and also a deeply interesting figure as well, whose works I now plan on reading in the near future. In my mind, there's little doubt that there will be plenty others whose interest will be sparked too by Queyssi and Marchesi's "Philip K. Dick."
The creative team behind this biographical graphic novel deliver an enjoyable and professional work that is informative. Admittedly, I have an interest already invested in this subject because I have enjoyed Philip K. Dick's work for years.
Even so, I think readers of a wide variety would enjoy this book. There are interesting wordless panels, the art is detailed, the story takes us in interesting directions to help us know more about this engaging author. A recommended read.
This biography comics offers an original point of view on the life of one of the best sci-fi writers. I used to read Dick’s work during my puberty and after, and then I stopped for some reason I can’t rememeber of now, but after this I am in pretty good mood to start again with his work. This was kind, enjoyable and informative in good way (not just filled with stupid facts and dates). Nice look into tragic life of five times married, mentally unstable sci-fi author.
