This was an amazing book, probably the best graphic novel I have read. It was a biography of Bob Marley. There some short sections of text in between the chapters provided more detailed information. Each section was drawn by a different artist and I appreciated all the different styles of art. The book included professional, musical and personal information, some that was completely new to me. I haven't read many graphic novels, but I loved this one. There are other biographies done by this publisher. I recommend to check them out.
Beautiful, rich, and lovely. I would gladly include this unique graphic novel in a course that looks at these books. The artistic and colorful nature of the book are highly engaging.
A wonderful short graphic biography of Bob Marley. This is meant as an introduction to Bob's life and music and not a comprehensive take. Each short chapter is drawn by a different artist and deals with a time or theme of Bob's life. This is also a great introduction to art styles and if you don't like one style it will soon switch to the next. In between chapters is a page or two expanding on the topic. The author is able to capture how the unique circumstances that led Bob to create some of the most influential and global popular music of all time.
Recommended for fans of Bob Marley, music history, Jamaica, reggae or people who rise from poverty.
A wonderful picture book that managed to combine autobiographical anecdotes and events with gorgeous illustrations. Highly recommended.
