review:
'Marvin: Based on The Way I Was by Marvin Hamlisch' is adapted by Ian David Marsden and has art by him as well.

This is the story of young Marvin Hamlisch. At age 6, he entered Juilliard. His Jewish parents had fled Vienna and wanted their young child to be successful. All the pressure caused Marvin to have stomach problems. Also, he preferred playing show tunes. This is how he got his first jobs composing and the famous people he met along the way.

It's a pretty great story. I was inspired by this talented man's story. The illustrations are fun. For a graphic novel, it's quite wordy, so if this if for younger readers, they may become bored with the word to graphic ratio. I still really enjoyed reading this one.

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