Great Antonio

The Great Antonio weighed as much as a horse, wrestled a bear, fought two trucks at once—AND HE WAS REAL!

"A tribute as heartfelt as it is joyous." —Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW

What made the Great Antonio so great? He weighed as much as a horse! He once wrestled a bear. He could devour twenty-five roasted chickens at one sitting. In this whimsical graphic novel, beloved author and illustrator Elise Gravel tells the true story of Antonio Barichievich, the larger-than-life Montreal strongman who had muscles as big as his heart.
