Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
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.

The book was more a propaganda piece to perpetuate the unfortunate myth than anything else. Che is an interesting phenomenon. A worthy topic for a graphic novel not so much in his life (which was filled with hatred, murder and ineptitude) but as an ironic myth that was made by one million dollar photo (or make that a billion).
Ok, maybe the author doesn't see the glaring irony, but a little bit of honesty would have done some good.

"Che - A Graphic Biography" captured the essence of the Che story. It did justice to both the man and the myth. Highly recommended.
