Billie Holiday / Muñoz & Sampayo ; [translated by Katy MacRae, Robert Boyd, and Kim Thompson] by Muñoz, José, 1942- NBM, 2017. Call #: 781.65092 H732m Subjects Holiday, Billie, 1915-1959 -- Comic books, strips, etc.   Women jazz singers -- United States -- Biography -- Comic books, strips, etc.   Jazz singers -- United States -- Biography -- Comic books, strips, etc.   Women singers, Black -- United States -- Biography -- Comic books, strips, etc.   Singers, Black -- Biography -- Comic books, strips, etc. ISBN:  9781681120935 (hc.) Description:  62, [17] pages : chiefly illustrations (black and white) ; 31 cm. Summary:  "Born in Philadelphia in 1915, and dead too early in New York in 1959, Billie Holiday became a legendary jazz singer, even mythical. With her voice even now managing to touch so many people, we follow a reporter on the trail of the artist on behalf of a New York daily. Beyond the public scandals that marred the life of the star (alcohol, drugs, and violence), he seeks to restore the truth, revisiting the memory of Billie. The authors trace, through the undertones of racism, and in the wake of the blues, the slow drift of a singer who expressed the deepest emotions in jazz. Jose Muñoz had a serious passion for comics from an early age. His first comics job was assisting Francisco Solano Lopez, illustrating stories by Argentine comics legend Hector Osterheld. Muñoz moved to Europe in 1972, meeting fellow Argentine writer Carlos Sampayo. The duo collaborated often with various series, including Alack Sinner and in Art Spiegelman's Raw."--Provided by publisher.
