review:
'Marathon' with story and art by Nicolas Debon is a graphic novel about the marathon at the Amsterdam Olympics in 1928.

Told by a reporter at the 1928 games, this book follows the various runners in the marathon event. From crowd and country favorites emerges an unknown runner from Algeria. He is a factory worker wearing the French jersey. While other runners falter in the wind and terrain, he plods on and plots his chance to win.

Told in a mostly wordless format, I liked this story of athletes battling the elements and each other. The sepia tone style art really worked for this story.

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.
