Ghetto Klown #[nn]

A bold red cover sets the tone for this graphic novel adaptation of John Leguizamo's acclaimed one-man show, featuring a striking vector-style portrait of Leguizamo himself — confident smile, chain necklace, and all — set against a sketched New York City backdrop of subway cars and storefronts. Writer John Leguizamo brings his own story to the page, with cover art by Christa Cassano that captures both the energy of the performer and the gritty urban world that shaped him. Published by Harry N. Abrams in 2015, this is a vivid, personal work illustrated by Cassano and Shamus Beyale that feels as alive on the page as it does on the stage.
