review:
'Bob Marley in Comics!' by Sophie Blitman and Gaet's with a whole bunch of artists is a graphic novel with text chapters to tell the story of Bob Marley.

I love the music of Bob Marley, but I didn't know a lot of the details of his life. He was born Nesta Robert Marley and had a tough childhood in Jamaica. With a black mother and a white father, he didn't really fit in. Living in poverty in Trenchtown, he found some lifelong friends and future band-mates. His rise to fame included living in multiple countries and having lots of children with different women. His famous albums and appearances make this book as well as a better understanding of his Rastafari lifestyle.

There are almost 20 different artists featured telling different aspects of the life of Bob Marley. I liked some of the art better than others, but the segments are short, so it's not a distraction. The corresponding text chapters fill in the gaps and bridge details together. I enjoyed this look at the life of this legend.

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