review:
'The Yankee Comandante' with story and art by Gani Jakupi is a very well researched graphic novel about Cuba, but I had a hard time staying focused and interested.

Centering around the true story of American William Alexander Morgan, aka The Yankee Comandante, this book takes place during the Cuban Revolution. William embeds with the rebels in the Escambray Mountains, and not speaking a word of Spanish, he helped overthrow the Batista government, paving the way for Fidel Castro to take over.

I had a hard time staying interested in the story told here, and it should have been really interesting to me. The art works well, and I loved the afterword with real photos and all the notes about the research.

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.
