Is This Guy for Real? The Unbelievable Andy Kaufman

Box Brown’s graphic biography for First Second, begun in 2018, chronicles the bizarre life and career of the legendary comedian and performance artist Andy Kaufman. Brown, the sole writer and artist, uses his signature clean, expressive style to explore Kaufman’s boundary-smashing work and the blurred line between his onstage antics and his private self. The single-issue volume distills a complex, often misunderstood figure into a compelling, humanizing portrait.
