Andre the Giant: Life and Legend
Ratings7
Average rating3.1
Drawing from historical records about Andre's life as well as a wealth of anecdotes from his colleagues in the wrestling world, including Hulk Hogan, and his film co-stars (Billy Crystal, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, etc), Brown has created in Andre the Giant, the first substantive biography of one of the twentieth century's most recognizable figures.

Box Brown is the perfect artist to do this book–his deceivingly simple lines work really well with showing us a man who was a relatively complex person. I was left wanting more detail and depth in Andre's story, however, and some more depth. This book is great for what it is–a non-comprehensive biography. I guess I just wanted to know much more about Andre...
Nicely illustrated and interesting but I feel as if I would have enjoyed it much more had I been a fan of WWF back in the day.
