Love Me Please!: The Story of Janis Joplin by Nicolas Finet
4.0
This was a very fast-paced story that suited Janis Joplin’s very fast-paced life. Her life was heartbreakingly too short.
The story and art didn’t shy away from showing her drug and alcohol consumption, which is obviously a huge part of her story. I think it’s important to see all the external pressures put on her (and others, too). She was constantly swarmed with drug dealers, record labels wouldn’t sign her because of her addiction, but also help was really hard to come by.
The story also included her many musical influences, which I thought was really rad.
Overall, the art style was my favorite because I felt like I was living in the 60’s right along side her.
