Rick Koslowski's "The King" is a unique story of an enigmatic Elvis impersonator who's making his reputation in the Vegas strip and in the world. A mystery man who hides his face behind a golden helmet, his performances are mesmerizing, so much so that his fans start believing he really is Elvis Presley. When a former tabloid journalist makes it his personal mission to find out The King's true identity and debunk this strange performer's comeback as Elvis, he runs into more than he bargained for!
More than a funny book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Writer/Artist Rich Koslowski keeps raising the bar - and then jumping over it. Fresh from his incredible graphic novel 'Three Fingers' comes 'The King'. The quirky humor of 'The Three Geeks' and his other early works is a bit muted here but it has been replaced with a richly matured skill at storytelling that tackles deeper topics like faith and belief in the absence (or in the face of) hard evidence. The artwork is also worthy of note - rather than rely on garish coloring, the simple 3 tone artwork relies shading and shadow to emphasize the unfolding story. Not just for comic book fans or Elvis junkies - this is a well crafted story that is well worth the time spent reading it. Again and Again.
