OK, the point in the Part extract where the political commissar has stuffed his glasses on his forehead and pinches his eye sockets in despair at how "difficult" a case Part is is pure comedy. No printed words needed; the picture tells it all. I laughed in surprise and delight! I've never read a graphic novel before (or is it a comic strip?) I am stunned that the seriousness and beauty of Part's story could be captured in the medium of a graphic novel. AND, that words and pictures could make me want to listen to his music. This is amazing. I'd like to read the whole thing. I've ordered a copy. Thank you.
