Read a biographical comic on the life of Steve Jobs, The Apple Wizard released by Campfire Graphic Novels in the Campfire Heroes Series. The graphic novel is nicely illustrated and presents the thrill, action and philosophy of Job’s life in nutshell. The thick-and-thin of his life and career are vividly cast in dialogic form. The genre makes for a fast pace reading which is in sync with the flux of current times.
The man, the inventor, the customer, the marketing person, the visionary and the artist- all facets of Steve Jobs have been brought out in this vibrant script. The milestones of Steve’s life have been enumerated.
Readers would benefit from this mantra-packed book inspiring those who can think ‘out-of-the-box’. Steve really cast a spell on the world around- digitizing our lives. Campfire’s iniative in bringing out this book is commendable- it has redefined the exercise of case study.
