Is This Guy for Real?: The Unbelievable Andy Kaufman
by Box Brown
I picked this up solely because I like Brown's work/nonfiction comics. Before reading this I didn't really know much at all about Kaufman and after reading I don't really know if I'll investigate it more. This is nothing against Brown, just mostly that I don't care about wrestling and Kaufman seems a little unsettlingly odd.
As a work of comic art, however, I found it enjoyable. I like Brown's method of storytelling; it's very direct in every sense. The art is simple yet expressive and the story is straight to the point. There seems to be little room for fictional fluff and he includes a lovely large bibliography. I think my favorite part was how he got a little meta there at the end and drew himself interviewing Kaufman's brother via his computer.
If you like Kaufman, comedy, wrestling, non-fiction comics, or Brown's other works then you'll likely find some entertainment in this.
