(1) 4-6 At the end of the nineteenth century, Louis Cyr was widely regarded as the world's strongest man. Debon uses the book's graphic novel–style format to communicate immediacy and intimacy, as Cyr relates his life story to his daughter. The close-to-monochromatic palette dominated by warm earth tones is surprisingly pleasing to the eye. An afterword is illustrated with photographs. Bib.
