Summary: Comics are for the Sunday Paper, not Jimi Hendrix
Comment: This one left me a bit short. I actually saw Jimi Hendrix perform at the Cafe Wa in Greenwich Village, NY. Also saw his 1968 Experience concerts in Hartford at the Bushnell Memorial concert hall and outdoors at the Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, CA and he was amazing! This comic depiction is not completely accurate and since I was there it does not hit home for me since the information is off and not overly complete. Nice try, collectable, but not for the purist Hendrix fan. The CD which comes inside rear cover is a nice touch and bonus almost worth the price of the book. I even found a mint copy of this book missing the CD, pouch there unopened, but missing the CD in error!

Summary: Bill Sienkiewicz at his best
Comment: Even if comics are not your thing, the art of Bill Sienkiewicz should win you over to buy this book. About 140 pages of fully painted and truly outstanding art, make this book a landmark even in Sienkiewicz' oeuvre. It is a special delight to see him experimenting with mixed media and the computer and break out of the traditional constraints of the comics medium.
As far as the quality of the biographical facts is concerned, let's suffice to say that a more than fair amount of research has been done, but that the presentation of the material is pretty biased. Of course Hendrix was always a saintly and lovable guy. He never had a serious drugs problem and when he was busted for drugs possession he was obviously framed. What did him in finally were certainly not his drug habits but the Big Bad Suits of the record companies and his fiendish Agent, who conspired to impose an inhuman touring scheme on the poor artist, who finally died of sheer exhaustion (helped along maybe by a sleeping pill or two...). You get the picture...
