Musician, novelist, poet, actor: Nick Cave (b. 1957) is a Renaissance man. His wide-ranging artistic output—always uncompromising, hypnotic, and intense—is defined by an extraordinary gift for storytelling. In Nick Cave: Mercy on Me , Reinhard Kleist employs a cast of characters drawn from Cave’s music and writing to tell the story of a formidable artist and influencer. Kleist paints an expressive and enthralling portrait of Cave’s childhood in Australia; his early years fronting The Birthday Party; the sublime highs of his success with The Bad Seeds; and the crippling lows of his battle with heroin. Capturing everything from Cave’s frenzied performances in Berlin to the tender moments he spent with love and muse Anita Lane, Kleist’s graphic biography, like Cave’s songs, is by turns electrifying, sentimental, morbid, and comic—but always engrossing.

Pictures included with this review
Great graphic novel about Nick Cave's music career. It's a large book, over 300 pages. FYI, a graphic novel is similar to a comic book if you are not familiar. I added four pictures to this review.

A gem for any fan of the man, the music, the myth. Oh Mercy indeed!
This is a great treat for fans of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, as well as graphic novels. Richard's illustration style is extremely appropriate to the Cave-vibe, it really makes you think he's got either extensive knowledge into Cave's career, deep insight from the man himself, or an incredible imagination to put this all together. In any case, it's terrific stuff, very impressive.

Serviceable entertainment for fans
A well-drawn, competent biopic take on Nick Cave's career, heavily focusing on the early years (especially with the Birthday Party). Interweaves song lyrics paired with images of the song's narratives, and some magical realism elements as Nick confronts some of the characters of his songs come to life.The writing is nothing spectacular, and there's not much here of lasting significance, but it's an enjoyable read-through for Nick's fans.

BD au top!
Le dessin est très bon, avec une vraie personnalité de l'auteur, ce qui rehausse la qualité du texte, très "Cavien". Une vraie découverte, je conseille! (A noter qu'une traduction française a été faite en 2018 je crois, mais le texte en anglais c'est tout de même mieux, même si la VO est en allemand)...
