Mind Afire: The Visions of Nikola Tesla is graphic novel
written by Abigail Samoun and illustrated by Elizabeth Haide. This graphic
novel is a semi fictitious biography about the famous scientist Nikola Tesla. While
this book was not bought in an independent or used bookstore it was bought from
Kickstarter, which is just about as independent as it comes.
The illustrations are so beautifully done. They aid in the
understanding of the story and help you further understand the story, just as
illustration in a graphic novel should. The text itself is sometimes hard to
read, for me at least, so the illustrations truly made the book for me. The
text content was intelligently written and did a great job following the life
of Nikola Tesla, particularly with the many relationships, not just romantic,
that Tesla had. The writing was just as impressive as the illustrations.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys interesting
biographies, with some liberties of course, and wonderful illustrations that
make this book so special. I look
forward to seeing what Abigail Samoun and Elizabeth Haide have in story for us
next!
