#WhatWereReading : Joe found Darryl Cunningham's well-researched graphic biography, Elon Musk, American Oligarch, a fascinating & accessible read.

Exploring his family history from a grandfather who decided Aprtheid era South Africa looked like a good place to raise a family, to building his American empire and the complex relationships with colleagues, collaborators & friends (and then often ex-colleagues, collaborators and friends!).

Cunningham has a knack for taking complicated material and delivering it in a deceptively simple cartooning style - previous graphic works have included Billionaires (which sits well with this book), Supercrash (the 2008 financial meltdown) and Science Tales. Highly recommended.

Today's travelling reading: continuing with graphic biography of Muskrat, by the always excellent Darryl Cunningham.

My reading speed is a little slower than usual, but in my defence, I am reading the French edition from Del court.

My French chum managed to get me in a copy of Darryl Cunningham's graphic biography work on Musky Boy.

I've loved Darryl's non-fiction comics work for years (he was our cartoonist in residence back in the Forbidden Planet Blog days), but this will be my first time reading him in another language! Good practice for me ...
