The Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien by John Hendrix

A graphic novel is such an unexpected format for the telling of this famous friendship story, but surprisingly it worked so well! The narrators were a bit too goofy at times, but some of the goofy moments did make me laugh.
Loads of historical context is given in regards to the times Lewis and Tolkien were living in, and each of their lives are chronicled very cohesively. I’d heard snippets of their life stories here and there, but it was cool to see it all compiled together like this. Theirs was such a sweet, authentic friendship; not without its rough spots, but that just makes it all the more meaningful. The world remains thankful for how these men spurred each other on to write some of the most influential novels of all time.
