Book Reviews of Che: A Graphic Biography

Book Review: Che for new, thoughtful generation
Summary: 5 Stars

Alot of intensive research went into this graphic bio, which adds to its appeal, especially for a younger generation. Takes read way beyond the tee icon -- and 'cut out' revolutionary -- to his multiple accomplishments globally. Such a keen social conscience and a rare willingness to sacrifice for what he perceived as a better world.
Appropriate for gifting high-school-age grandchildren, your adult daughter and nephew. Beyond US propaganda, Spain Rodriguez's concept and drawing is exceptional--an heirloom in the making.

Summary of Che: A Graphic Biography

A graphic biography of the most iconic revolutionary figure of the twentieth century.

Since his death in 1967, Ernesto ?Che? Guevara has become a universally known revolutionary icon and political figure whose image is among the most recognizable in the world. This dramatic and extensively researched book breathes new life into his story, portraying his struggle through the medium of the underground political comic ? one of the most prominent countercultural art forms since the 1960s. Spain Rodriguez?s powerful artwork illuminates Che?s life and the experiences that shaped him, from his motorcycle journey through Latin America, his rise to prominence as a leader in Fidel Castro?s revolutionary movement, his travels in Africa, his involvement in the insurgency that led to his death in Bolivia, and his extraordinary legacy.
