Hawking by Jim Ottaviani
From his early days at Oxford, Stephen Hawking's brilliance and good humor were obvious to everyone he met. At twenty-one he was diagnosed with ALS, a disease that limited his ability to move and speak, though it did nothing to limit his mind. He went on to do groundbreaking work in cosmology and theoretical physics for decades after being told he had only a few years to live. Through his 1988 bestseller, A Brief History of Time, and his appearances on shows like Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory, Hawking became a household name and a pop-culture icon. In Hawking, Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick have crafted an intricate portrait of the great thinker, the public figure, and the man behind both identities.
Jim Ottaviani began writing graphic novels about scientists. They include The Imitation Game, Primates, Feynman, and Hawking. His books are New York Times bestsellers, have been translated into over a dozen languages, and have received praise from publications ranging from Nature and Physics World to Entertainment Weekly and Variety. gt-labs.com Leland Myrick is the Ignatz Award-and Harvey Award-nominated author and illustrator of The Sweet Collection, Bright Elegy, and Missouri Boy, and illustrator of the New York Times bestseller Feynman. He has written and illustrated work for Dark Horse Comics, GQ Japan, Vogue Russia, The Flight Series, and First Second Books. lelandmyrick.com
