"When I was a child ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book...So every dream that I've dreamed has come true a hundred times"
-Elvis
To celebrate the life and legacy of Elvis Presley around the 35th anniversary of his passing on August 16, 2012, Graphic Elvis is the ultimate book for any Elvis fan.
The book also features for the first time, a number of Elvis' handwritten personal notes written in the margins of his book collection at Graceland. Readers can explore pages from Elvis' books with doodles, words, numerological notes and handwritten phrases.
The notes reveal rare insights into the inner workings of the legendary music icon, showing his deep spiritual quest and exploration of the mystical. Elvis shared his passion to seek out the deeper mysteries of life commenting, "All I want to know is the truth, to know and experience God. I'm a searcher, that's what I'm all about..."
