Lion Forge Comics
is proud to present this amazing story of a man who turned a curse into a
blessing. Written by 2014 Eisner Award-nominee Brandon M. Easton with gorgeous
artwork by Denis Medri, this unprecedented biography of Andre the Giant charts
his earliest days on his family's farm, to his enormously successful runs in
Japan, to his heated feuds with the biggest wrestling stars of all time, to his
memorable turns in Hollywood TV and cinema and to his darkest moments caused by
excessive substance abuse.

Based on
testimony from Andre's friends and colleagues - including his daughter Robin -
this is the story you've never been told about Andre "the Giant"
Roussimoff.
