I'm hardly a fan of baseball, but this intensive info dump of trivia kept me engaged despite being text heavy and not particularly well formatted. Seriously, a graphic novel of this page count would normally take me about an hour to read, but this one took closer to three with its truckload of names and statistics. The book mostly takes a timeline approach throwing out the highlights of each year from page to page, with frequent side bars to highlight particular anecdotes and mini-bio pages for some of the major players. Alas, the side bars sometime blended into the narrative panels and the bios sometimes seemed randomly or poorly placed. I assume there are better histories with actual photographs out there, but I'm sure there is a small intersection in the Venn diagram of baseball and comic book fans who'll get a kick out of this.

"A graphic novel-style history of baseball--providing an illustrated chronological look at the major games, players, and rule changes that shaped the sport--presented in fun, easily understood chunks perfect for casual and diehard fans alike. Sequential art steps up to the plate and covers all the bases with this illustrated origin of America's national pastime. Writer Alex Irvine and illustrators Tomm Coker (Black Monday Murders) and C.P. Smith team up to present a complete look at the beginnings (both real and legendary), developments, triumphs, and tragedies of baseball. The Comic Book Story of Baseball spotlights the players, teams, games, and moments that have kept the game so popular for so long. Not only does the book define key terms and explain how the game is played, it also breaks down the cultural impact and significance of the sport in America and overseas (including Japan, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic). From the early days of America to the flying W outside Wrigley Field in 2016, the book features members of Baseball's Hall of Fame and modern day stand-outs, including Cy Young, Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, the 1930s New York Yankees, the 2004 Boston Red Sox, the 2016 Chicago Cubs, and more"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
