An explosive new graphic novel about the most dangerous band in the world They’ve sold over 100 million albums, recorded the most expensive album ever, endlessly courted controversy with their lyrics, and embrace a full-on hedonistic lifestyle: Guns N’ Roses are well acquainted with rock ‘n’ roll excess.  In this spectacular new graphic biography, Marc Olivent’s stunning artwork and Jim McCarthy’s incisive script perfectly capture the rollercoaster tale of Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Steve Adler and the many others who have passed through the Guns ‘n’ Roses story. And it’s all here: the feud between Axl and Kurt Cobain, the riots during concerts, the acrimonious departure of Slash from the band, the inevitable drugs and groupies and, of course, the music. Over 200 b&w illustrations throughout “ Reckless Life comes at a great time to revisit the band’s colorful history. GNR wasn’t just a band, they were a genuine cultural phenomenon that fired up everyone from hard rockers to pop music fans . . . artist Marc Olivent does a solid job depicting three decades worth of drama in a gritty realistic style . . . Reckless Life also provides a comprehensive rundown of what the band members have been up to over the past 20 years.” - PopMatters Jim McCarthy is a widely published illustrator and comic strip artist.
