Che: A Revolutionary Life

"Jon Lee Anderson’s critically acclaimed 1997 biography of Che Guevara comes to life in this graphical adaptation. Anderson’s take on Che is subtle and engages thoughtfully with the subject’s mythic status. Political cartoonist José Hernández is a phenomenal draftsman with a cinematic eye and a particular flair for drawing people; scenes of revolutionary intrigue spark in his characters’ superbly inflected faces, and he renders the midcentury time period in gorgeous, sepia hues perfect for a book of history."
