Editorial Reviews

"Über den legendären amerikanischen Investor Warren Buffet wurden breeits zahlreiche Bücher geschrieben - nun erscheint seine Biograhie erstmals als Comic. Die erstaunliche Karriere des ehemaligen Zeitungsträgers, der zum erfolgreichsten Einzelinvestor aller zeiten wurde, mutet als Fabel an. Das Buch des Japaners ayano Morio verleiht Buffett zusätzlich eine Superheld-Aura: Er trifft immer die richtigen Entscheidungen und löst jeeds Problem sofort - wie ein richtiger Superman des Finanzgewerbes. Fazit: unkritisch, aber amüsant."

"... Die englischen Texte sind leicht zu lesen, die Illustrationen sind witzig. Auch der Lernwert des Comics ist nicht zu unterschätzen ..."
