4.5
An incredibly powerful and well thought out graphic memoir. I liked the way Bell intermixed personal and public moments that shaped him in big and small ways. I wish there was more about Bell as a parent but overall I thought this was well paced. My major drawback was that I really didn't like the artwork. I thought there was too much text, and coupled with the messy, sketch-like art, I found it hard to focus on.
Graphic: Racism and Police brutality
Moderate: Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, and Murder
Minor: Classism, Gun violence, Homophobia, Child death, Violence, Islamophobia, Colonisation, and Antisemitism
