Am I allowed to post this link? Just remove this thread if not.

Anyway, this new graphic novel was all over FB yesterday. Any thoughts? Anyone familiar with this company and their products? Years ago I had a series of graphic novels pertaining to the tv show Beauty and the Beast and they were quite well done. I'm interested in this one because it could be a great addition of a new media type to add to my collection of Queen books.

I'm sure it's allowed.
Looks like an interesting project, inspired by the 'A Life in His Own Words' book which had great input from Simon Lupton. Then again, the archivist unfortunately worked on it too.
Not sure whether a comic book version of Freddie's life will be any more informative to us, but may possibly help a younger generation to discover his story.

N39, I'm not expecting any new info at all, but I am interested in the medium. I think it could be fun way to see Freddie's life and I'm all for a younger generation discovering Freddie. I was just hoping maybe someone was familiar with the quality of book from this particular company. The price for a softback was very reasonable so I went ahead and ordered it.

Lord Fickle, thanks for the ok!
