Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

LIBRARY JOURNAL -- "Andre The Giant was-and still is-a perfect comic book character. Visually arresting, superlative in size and strength, often heroically facing difficult circumstances and terrible pain, sometimes failing to meet his challenges, and with a complicated inner-life that included a simmering darkness that could occasionally boil over."
