Freddie and Me

Front Cover
Jonathan Cape, 2008 - Comics & Graphic Novels - 294 pages
This graphic memoir tells of Mike Dawson's lifelong obsession with Freddie Mercury and Queen. Told alternately from Mike's childhood, teenage and adult perspectives, it explores the way in which music changes and shapes our lives, and the way in which random memories can both prop up and undermine the stories we tell ourselves.
