Rendered in striking, explosive graphic form, many of Bob Dylan's most famous songs illustrated as they've never been before. Mesmerized by the power of his lyrics and intrigued by the possibilities of translating his powerful, enigmatic personality into art, thirteen French graphic artists banded together to create this unusual testament to the universality and transcendent vision of an American musical genius.

I liked this book. It was way cheaper then anywhere else I looked for it! Almost thought it would come with pages missing it was such a deal!
It came promptly and was a breeze to order.
My husband reads/sings the book and it's stories to my 2&3 year olds. They love it.

One of the more unusual and wonderful things honoring Bob Dylan.

For anyone who loves and respects Bob Dylan and his incredible, incalcuable contribution to the arts and society, this is a must. There are 13 songs and 13 graphic interpretatons, one each of each song. Each one of the superbly qualified graphic artists bring their own particular interpretation to one of his most deeply written lyrics and songs to the page, and innure each song with other layers of insight and meaning through the visual art for the viewers consideration. Bob, himself, is a remarkable visual artist, and (I would guess) must be honored by the skillfully fine interpretation of his works. This is a deeply touching book honoring one of the world's finest and most important artists, as well as some of the most poignantly written words ever brought forth from pen to paper. I suggest you not miss this one. I'm glad I didn't.

Great visual interpretations of Dylan's words

Firstly, I never write or read reviews. However, I am surprised by how often I return to this book, so I thought I'd share my thoughts.
This is a beautifully done book and a great medium with which to experience Dylan's artistic contribution. Especially noteworthy is the graphic interpretation of the last song presented in the volume, "Not Dark Yet." Already a haunting song, the visuals are very insightful and lend a lot to the themes of aging and hopelessness already present in the lyrics.
If your a Dylan fan, a fan of the graphic novel medium, or just appreciative of art and popular culture, you should dig this.
