review:
'Brain Drain, Part 1' by Pierre-Henry Gomont with translation by Edward Gauvin is a graphic novel based on a true event that then goes off the rails.

After Albert Einstein died, his autopsy was performed. After the autopsy, the famed scientist had specific instructions to be cremated. Thomas Stoltz Harvey, the pathologist, decides to disobey those rules and keeps the brain. Now he is on the run from his employer and shadowy government people. Meanwhile, he is having conversations with the deceased scientist, or perhaps he is losing his mind.

It's a pretty madcap adventure and only partially based in truth, but it's still a lot of fun. The art is a bit too 'editorial cartoonist' for me, but I still liked it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
