Following their New York Times-bestselling graphic novel Feynman,
Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick deliver a gripping biography of
Stephen Hawking, one of the most important scientists of our time.
From his early days at the St Albans School and Oxford, Stephen
Hawking's brilliance and good humor were obvious to everyone he
met. A lively and popular young man, it's no surprise that he would
later rise to celebrity status. At twenty-one he was diagnosed with
ALS, a degenerative neuromuscular disease. Though the disease
weakened his muscles and limited his ability to move and speak, 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. He brought his intimate
understanding of the universe to the public in his 1988 bestseller,
A Brief History of Time. Soon after, he added pop-culture icon to
his accomplishments by playing himself on shows like Star Trek, The
Simpsons, and The Big Bang Theory, and becoming an outspoken
advocate for disability rights. In Hawking, writer Jim Ottaviani
and artist Leland Myrick have crafted an intricate portrait of the
great thinker, the public figure, and the man behind both
identities.
