Banksy (A Graphic Novel)

Told in classic comic book form, this graphic biography invites new audiences to get to know Banksy and uses a perfectly chosen format to convey the artist's message that art belongs to the people.

Banksy is probably the most famous street artist of all time. But we don't really know who he is. This is just one of the many paradoxes explored in this highly engaging graphic biography. When two young Londoners are arrested for painting graffiti on a city wall, they begin to get to know each other while in police custody. After their release, they decide to make a film about Banksy's life, tracing the arc of his career, traveling through the streets of London.

Readers will not only learn about Banksy's politically charged art and the causes he championed, but also his global distribution, museum exhibitions, and record-breaking auctions. Although readers will never learn Banksy's true identity, this unique graphic form of storytelling conveys the artist's belief that art belongs to everyone, appeals to everyone, and is owned by everyone.
