Championess is the story of Elizabeth and Tess, based on the real-life
story of Elizabeth Wilkinson, an 18th-century mixed-race bare-knuckle
female boxer living in London.
In this graphic novel, we explore
how Elizabeth fought against poverty, betrayal, racism, and many other
obstacles to establishing herself as one of the best pugilists of that
period.
LIKES
The story flows like a
movie. The plot is smooth and there is a bit of surprise sprinkled here
and there, keeping me invested all through.
Also, the colour
scheme fits the overall mood of the story and the fight scenes are
dynamic enough to make readers pause long enough to enjoy the art.
DISLIKES
None.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Fans
of boxing, historical graphic novels, and seekers who want to learn
what it takes to build their own stuff amid stiff opposition will find
interesting stuff in this book.
Many thanks to Legendary Comics for providing a review copy.
