– Branson Easton spoke with Newsarama about his work on the upcoming Andre the Giant graphic novel and more. He said of the book, “Most folks know Andre as “Fezzik” from The Princess Bride and for a few major matches, but what few understand about his wrestling career is that it goes way back to the late 1960s. He was a thinner, more athletic performer back then and his work on the international stage in the 1970s was instrumental in moving pro-wrestling from a sideshow attraction for the working class into a global entertainment machine. Exploring that side of his career was amazing, but incredibly difficult to write.”
