Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a free electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Following the life of one of the most famous artists of all time, this graphic novel highlights key moments from Andy Warhol's upbringing, his career, and his founding of The Factory, all the way to his passing.
I have to admit I was left a little wanting. With a graphic novel of course the level of detail of a traditional biography isn’t possible, but this felt like a very bullet pointed list of things I already knew, and didn't add very much for me. Perhaps that is my mistake in reading it, and expecting something that was never going to be. The art was lovely, a real blend of 50's esque comic book and pop art.
