Box Brown's 'Andre the Giant: Life and Legend'

Following up his wrestling-centric comic Number 1, published early this year, Box Brown's Andre the Giant: Life and Legend tells the story of the pro wrestling icon and actor Andre Roussimoff, who was born with acromegaly, a condition that produces an excess of human growth hormone, causing protruding features, above-average height, and swelling of the internal organs. I wrote about Brown’s book for the Chicago Reader.
