By far the most successful of thrash metalrsquo;s original big four; incredibly Metallica have now been performing for well over 20 years. Beginning with their initial underground success; The Metallica Graphic Novel takes in all the highs (the amazing commercial success of The Black Album; the nine Grammys; the over 100 million albums sold worldwide); the tragic lows (Cliff Burtonrsquo;s death in a bus crash; the rehab for alcohol and substance abuse) and the controversies (the Napster lawsuit). Brian Williamsonrsquo;s stunning artwork and Jim McCarthyrsquo;s incisive script perfectly capture the rollercoaster tale of Lars Ulrich; James Hetfield; Cliff Burton; Kirk Hammett; Robert Trujillo and the many others who have passed through the Metallica story.

Its a revelation; not only of the artists growth and arrival at what is an incredibly touching and meaningful expression of honor; advocacy; and strength; but of her personal upbringing; a culture; time; and a community; all of which shaped it and allowed the ultimate creation of CHALK; and the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition; to come into existence. You read it wanting to be a better person; wanting to get involved; and being overwhelmed by Ms. Sergels gift. A meaningful and important story that must be read and heard; and reread and supported and honored - just like the victims and their memories that Ms. Sergel so beautifully keeps alive.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Activism! Art! A Beautiful Vision for a World We Can All Make BetterBy Esther CohenThis important anthology by gifted artist and organizer Ruth Sergel is a chorus of interesting voices about deep social problems and how we; every single one of us; can play a part in making life better. Impossible not to read this collection without wanting to join Ruth Sergel and these writers in the streets.
