review 1: This is actually a pretty well-rounded biography of Andre the Giant, in graphic novel form. It covers his childhood briefly, and recounts a few different stories from his personal life, and his famous wrestling matches. One of the cool things this book does is describe the choreography of the matches, and why certain moves were done, and their effect on the audience. This would be a great recommendation for fans of professional wrestling or Andre the Giant. There is quite a bit of swearing so this is probably best recommended for older teens and adults. Also Andre isn't always presented in the best light, so fans should be prepared for that.
review 2: more vignette-y than I had anticipated. Brown has pulled together some great stories from a lot of sources to s... morehow different sides of Andre the Giant, but I ended up feeling like I still didn't really know the guy as much as I wanted to. and I don't think that was the intention. still, I love the space on the page that Brown's simple lines create. I have a migraine so I don't know if that makes sense. less
