Andre the Giant: Life and Legend by Box Brown
3.0
I'm not a fan of Andre the Giant, or of wrestling. Instead, I'm a fan of graphic novels, especially those published by First Second. This one left me lacking, however. The artwork is suitable, and the portrayals of real people do look like their counterparts. I'm a fan of brighter, more colorful art.
I assume the story follows Andre's life fairly accurately; the back of the book bulges with source notes. Some parts jumped around a bit, or left me hanging and wondering what was happening. Mostly, though, it was okay. I suspect Andre's fans will like this much more than I did.
