Box Brown’s graphic novel look at Andre Roussimoff’s life is equal parts entertaining and intriguing.
Check out the review, boss!
Professional wrestlers are some of the most interesting people.
It takes a special piece of lunacy to go through with being a wrestler and live that life.
A biography for him has been a long time coming.
WWE tried one a few years ago calledAndre the Giant: A Legendary Lifeand its absolutely terrible.
Stay away from that one.
If you are a wrestling fan, that is the cutest thing.
After staring for a second, he simply tells Patterson to join him to play some cards.
He was a man who knew his time was short, so he tried not to dwell on it.
He just wanted to experience the good times as long as his cursed body would allow.
2/3 of the book is nothing but those kinds of stories and theyre fantastic.
Kind-hearted, generous, mischievous, incredibly stubborn… very, very stubborn.
The other 1/3 of the book is about Brown translating real footage into comic form.
He lets the words and images speak for themselves.
There are actually seriously tragic repercussions to his actions.
Andres company is like a revolving door and its hard to know how to feel about that.
Did he have so many friends or did he just have too few real friends?
Its a book I cant help but recommend to any wrestling fan.
He was flawed and at times ignorant, but overall certainly someone to look up to.
No pun int… eh, who am I kidding?
