The Great Antonio

64 pp. | TOON | October, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-943145-08-9 $12.95
(2) K-3 Translated by Richard Kutner. TOON Books continues to reinvent the easy reader with this biography of eccentric strongman Antonio Barichievich, a Croatian-born showman who became a Montreal legend. Simple text mingles fact, speculation, and tall tale. Energetic illustrations in muted colors feature a large, pink, hairy, joyful Antonio; wild typefaces seem to want to burst from the page. Back matter includes a few more details about Antonio.
