With The Boxer, Kleist became the first cartoonist to receive the German Youth Literature Award. Joining the canon of indelible stars is Nick Cave, who now has a graphic novel, Nick Cave: Mercy on Me, dedicated to his history. His graphic novel Johnny Cash: I See A Darkness was nominated for both the Eisner and Harvey awards, as well as receiving the Max und Moritz Prize for the Best German-language Comic.
Kleist's books have been translated into many languages and have received several prizes.
After graduating from the School of Graphic Art and Design in Munster, he moved to Berlin, where he has lived and worked as a freelance comics artist and illustrator ever since. In his graphic biography Nick Cave: Mercy on Me, Reinhard Kleist paints an expressive and enthralling portrait of the musician, novelist, poet, and actor. Reinhard Kleist has done a great job collecting all the songs and mythology from Nick Cave’s expansive career and turned it into a readable graphic novel. Biography: Reinhard Kleist was born in 1970 near Cologne.It covers the musician’s childhood in Australia, his time fronting The Birthday Party, his time with The Bad Seeds and his battle with heroin. In typical graphic novel style, the publication features dramatic hand-drawn imagery in panel comic format, starring Nick Cave and characters from his songs, all in black-and-white. He adds: “Closer to the truth than any biography, that’s for sure! But for the record, I never killed Elisa Day.” Nick Cave gave Reinhard biographical information and creative advice for the book, and comments on the final result that Reinhard has “blown apart the conventions of the graphic novel by concocting a terrifying conflation of Cave songs, biographical half-truths and complete fabulations and creating a complex, chilling and completely bizarre journey into Cave World”. The book, titled Nick Cave: Mercy On Me draws elements from the musician’s life story as well as his music and writing, much like previous books focused on Johnny Cash I See in Darkness and Somali athlete Samia Yusef Omar An Olympic Dream. German graphic designer and comic artist Reinhard Kleist has created a graphic biography of Nick Cave, published by SelfMadeHero.
