Keith Haring, the renowned artist, activist, and humanitarian, is the ideal figure for this graphic novel. With a limited color palette of three hues, this comic-book chronicles the captivating narrative of a man who boldly expressed himself on various mediums.

From his early artistic passion to his untimely passing, Keith Haring's life is an epic tale of determination, serendipitous opportunities, and unwavering dedication. This graphic novel delves into every chapter of his journey, from his formative influences to his fervent activism and deep connections with fellow artists.

It immerses readers in the vibrant art scene of 1980s New York City, pulsing with nightlife, cutting-edge exhibitions, and the rise of hip-hop. Through the lens of world events - such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the arms race, apartheid, and the looming environmental crisis - we witness how Haring's work was shaped. His personal battle with AIDS fuels his advocacy for education and research, while his circle of influence includes icons like Warhol, Basquiat, Fab Five Freddy, and Madonna.

With rich historical references and the artist's own reflections, this visual biography is a must-read for art enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
