A few years ago I received John Lee Andersons epic biography Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life in my Christmas stocking and to be honest, regardless of the detail and its billing as the seminal work on a figure Im reasonably interested in, I just never had the time or dedication to finish it.
This year Im setting the bar a little lower and hoping someone dear to me will splash out on Spain Rodriguezs graphic novel Che: A Graphic Biography.
Im sure some may think a comic on the life of a major leftist icon seems a little trashy or cheap but this comes from the pen of the man that brought us, possibly the first (only?) Marxist comic book superhero, Trashman. Its bound to be worth a read for those that share the twin youthful delights of comics and socialist politics.
