review:
'A. Rodin' by Joel Alessandra with art by Eddy Simon is a graphic novel biography about the artist primarily known for his sculpture.

An interesting take for this biography is that the chapters are named after the women he primarily was with for each period. Beginning with long-suffering Ruth who say the talent and put up with the nonsense. Second was Camille Claudel who was a very good artist in her own right. Then Claire came along late in life to work on getting Rodin more fame and a museum.

I've read a number of the NBM series, and some are better than others, but they are all interesting. I liked this look at Rodin's life and philandering. His major works are covered and some of his thought process. The art is good, with a hazier line style that worked well for this book.

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