review:
'Basquiat: A Graphic Novel' written and illustrated by Paolo Parisi is a graphic novel biography of the famous artist.

Told from a few different perspectives, the story begins with Jean-Michel Baquiat's father finding out about his death, then jumping back and forth to tell the story. Basquiat started as a street-art legend known as SAMO. He was involved in a lot of the underground scene of New York in the early 1980s. He rose to fame, and made money, but had a troubled life.

The color palette for this book is very distinct, and I really loved what was done. The story was divided up in to chapters based on articles or incidents. I really liked the changing narrators in the story. The book ends with a bibliography including music and films that Basquiat created.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Laurence King Publishing Ltd. in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
