Another of NBM's readable but clunky biographies about musicians. Like the previous volumes with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, the format is weird. A guy named Gaet's writes short dramatized graphic stories from various moments of Bob Marley's life that are illustrated by 19 different artists (mostly French, I'd guess, like the author) with wildly different styles. It's sometimes a little hard to tell what's going on in the stories, but after every story or two, Sophie Blitman jumps in to provide a two-page text piece going into more detail about the people and events in the graphic portions. This makes for a lot of redundancy and some awkward writing, so it's not an optimal reading experience, but the book is informative with the breeziness of a magazine. ( )
