(1) K-3 Tate tells the story of Victorian-era bodybuilding superstar Eugen Sandow with drama and flair. His chronological narrative depicts an ambitious, hardworking showman with a drive for excellence--from "feeble" boy to acrobat, strongman, fitness guru, and creator of the first organized bodybuilding contest. Digital illustrations with gentle, textured black outlines housing a warm color palette show an approachable version of the athlete. Bib.
