![]() ![]() ![]() By the end Christos and we together come to understand that LogiComix is deliberately not LOGIC FOR DUMMIES, but rather a true story about passion, family, war, love, tragedy and hope. As the story unfolds, the creative team debate how to best move it forward. When Apostolos tells Christos the story he’d like to craft, we, the readers, get to hear it too! Along the way, Christos asks questions, points out problems, and makes suggestions to Apostolos as well as to his illustrators Alecos Papadatos and Annie di Donna. As we intrude upon his thoughts, he invites us to meet Berkeley computer scientist Christos Papadimitriou, whom Apostolos must recruit to help him with the book. For example, the prologue opens with co-author Apostolos Doxiadis reading a draft of his story. Three chapters into it, I’m captivated and enchanted by the playful, clever, innovative use of self-reference. ![]() But Logicomix is - er, unusual, and not just because it’s a graphic novel about a dead logician. Normally I’d wait until I finish reading a book before I write my review. ![]()
