Review:
Santiago s graphic novel captures the talent of Clemente the baseball player while also showcasing and illuminating the many simple and human qualities of the man that forged him into an honest and authentic hero. 21's complex yet accessible narrative and profound artwork make it a swift and affecting experience... --Kyle Davis"
...[21: The Story of Roberto Clemente] should appeal to graphic novel fans, baseball fans, anyone who likes a great 'bigger than fiction' story, and many others. --Mark Hodgens"
It s not just the subject matter that s a winner here. Santiago has a knack for simplicity in his storytelling approach, and in a medium that s often beset by needless complexity, that s a rare gift.--Tim Reinert"

An existential work by the author of In My Darkest Hour is inspired by the life of baseball star Roberto Clemente and traces his childhood in early twentieth-century Puerto Rico, his successes with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the face of daunting prejudice, and his tragic 1972 death in a plane crash. Original.
