About the author, Roland Monpierre.

Roland raised up in the French Antilles, close to Jamaica.

he was 20 when he got the chance to listen to the wailers music
his brother 'aimé' gave to him as a gift 'rastaman vibration' from a long trip to London.

note that his brother was deeply involved in reggae music being a composer,writer and reggae music player.
he's not around nowdays sadly , a dicease took him from his familly at the age of 36.

Roland did a comic books in 1988, december to be exact, it was named :

Reggae Rebel : la vie de bob marley ,Editions Caribéennes (scan 1)
Reggae Rebel : the life of bob marley , Editions Caribéennes. (scan 1)

it was his first attempt to write, talk about his passion , reggae music and bob marley.

This comics book was edited a second time in 2001
under the name :

bob marley par Roland Monpierre , Editions Eisemusic (scan 2)
bob marley by Roland monpierre , Editions Eisemusic (scan 2)

With all his experience gained over severals years of study of the wailers past
and also improvement to his drawing technic 'couleurs directes' he told me.

he's nowdays releasing his third comics named :

Bob Marley : La Legende Des Wailers , Albin Michel Edition

At first glance, his editor , Albin Michel edition
was not hot to publish a french comics book
related to an jamaican band but they do accepted the challenge
as noticed into the introduction text,that's making this comics a little special.
