review:
'Philip K. Dick' by Laurent Queyssi with art by Mauro Marchesi is a graphic novel biography of the famous writer.
The framing story is told in flashbacks from his hospital bed at the end of his life. By all known accounts, Philip K. Dick was a driven person who used narcotics to help his creative process. This is self-evident from some of his bizarrely entertaining books and stories. It also likely contributed to his paranoia and strange speeches at cons. But he is nonetheless a favorite author of me and others.
This is a fairly unflinching biography and I appreciate that. I liked the cast of real life characters, like Tim Powers. The art is really good and I really liked this story where truth is stranger than fiction.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from papercutz and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
