Rediscover, or experience for the first time, the incredible life story of a true American icon.
Steve McQueen said, "I'm not sure whether I'm an actor who races or a racer who acts." Fortunately for us, he was the best of both.
McQueen left an indelible imprint as one of Hollywood's sexiest leading men. His masterful film roles in Bullitt, The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair, and Papillion have been often imitated but never repeated. An actor, motorcycle and automobile racer, and all-around gearhead, McQueen also epitomized the American dream, rising from hardscrabble circumstances to become one of the most famous movie stars in the world.
Steve McQueen: Full-Throttle Cool presents McQueen's life story in an artistic, graphic-novel format. It covers his entire life, from his earliest years growing up in a suburb of Indianapolis to his death from mesothelioma. Learn all about his stunning movie career, in which he defined the antihero archetype. The cool panache he brought to the screen was perhaps only matched by his adrenaline-pumping racing exploits. Get the full measure of both from this book.

"The book, by author Dwight Jon Zimmerman and artist Greg Scott (from Motorbooks).... is seriously cool. It covers his whole life in a hundred pages, from acting to racing (both bad and good, though he much preferred racing) with some interesting takes on certain infamous episodes."
(AContinuousLean.com)"Complete with striking illustrations and entertaining anecdotes, its an evocative approach to an already much-covered personality."

(Hemmings)"This 96-page graphic-novel-style biography reads with the punch of a teletype and looks like the storyboard of a summer blockbuster. By the time you've finished enjoying this book, there will be little doubt in your mind why McQueen is a patron saint of motorsports, and everything associated with him ranks as holy relic."

(Petrolicious)"For fans who want to learn more, there's a new book - a graphic book, really, done in artistic style, with drawings and dialogue - that captures McQueen pretty well."
(SeattlePI.com)"We think of these graphic publications as being focused on young teenagers but I think anyone will enjoy this one." -"
