5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent starter for anyone interested in the Kid...,
By Courtney Ann Lambert "Courtney, mommy of Natalie" (Menifee, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Illustrated Life and Times of Billy the Kid (Paperback)
Bob Boze Bell lays out almost all the known facts about the Kid in a direct manner without any superfluous literary flourishes. Of course, this at time renders the book a little difficult to read (bullet points on the facts can sometimes get dull) and an index would have greatly helped in keeping track of all of the players in the Lincoln County War, but those complaints can be overlooked. Bell's art is a little spotty. Sometimes breathtaking, sometimes amateurish. His grasp of human anatomy needs some work, and his style isn't close to being solid, but when he gets it right he really gets it right. I'd have appreciated his thoughts on some of the more well-known films on the Kid, outside of the 'Young Guns' films (which any Western buff would discard outright anyway) such as his opinion on the best portrayals of the Kid and Garrett, but that's really probably only me.
All in all, one of the most accessible and entertaining pieces of history on the Kid. |
