A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Andre Roussimoff is known as both the lovable giant in The Princess Bride and a heroic pro-wrestling figure. He was a normal guy who'd been dealt an extraordinary hand in life. At his peak, he weighed 500 pounds and stood nearly seven and a half feet tall. But the huge stature that made his fame also signed his death warrant. Box Brown brings his great talents as a cartoonist and biographer to this phenomenal new graphic novel. 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.Languages:EnglishPublisher:First SecondISBN-13:9781596438514ISBN-10:1596438517UPC:9781596438514Book Category:Comics & Graphic NovelsBook Subcategory:Nonfiction, LiteraryBook Topic:Biography & MemoirSize:8.70 x 6.00 x 0.72 inchesWeight:0.7716Product ID:SCQ0ZDED7C
