Andre the Giant: Life and Legend by Box Brown

3.0

An interesting biography about Andre the Giant, though the comic format doesn't really work well with it. At the beginning of the book the author says that he had to take some creative liberties due to not having exact the details on certain events, which is understandable for a comic but not ideal for a biography. It mostly left me second guessing a lot of things that happened in the book like "oh did Andre really cry there?" or "was that really what was said or is it just the author doing his best to recreate dialogue?" There are source notes in the back but I think I would have preferred them as footnotes or numbered citations. Overall I learned more about Andre the Giant which is great, though I think I'd prefer an actual book with sources referenced in the text.
