"A graphic novel about everybody's favorite coolest man ever. This Motorbooks publication tells the story of McQueen's career, his racing and motorcycle adventures, and his dedication to charity work."
- Hot Rod"By the time you've finished enjoying this book, there will be little doubt in your mind why McQueen is a patron saint of motorsports, and everything associated with him ranks as holy relic."
- Hemmings"All done in a bold realistic drawing style, this is one adventure you won't want to miss. I can't think of anyone who would not have anything but praise for Steve McQueen and this book honors his legacy."
- ComicsGrinder.com"We think of these graphic publications as being focused on young teenagers but I think anyone will enjoy this one." -"
- The Auto Channel"The book, by author Dwight Jon Zimmerman and artist Greg Scott (from Motorbooks).... is seriously cool. It covers his whole life in a hundred pages, from acting to racing (both bad and good, though he much preferred racing) with some interesting takes on certain infamous episodes."
- AContinuousLean.com"Steve McQueen: Full-Throttle Cool is a good introductory graphic novel/biography for motorsports or Steve McQueen fans, as well as readers who might not be as familiar with the man."
- Petrolicious"This 96-page graphic-novel-style biography reads with the punch of a teletype and looks like the storyboard of a summer blockbuster. By the time you've finished enjoying this book, there will be little doubt in your mind why McQueen is a patron saint of motorsports, and everything associated with him ranks as holy relic."
- Hemmings Muscle Machines"If you're an avid Steve McQueen fan, you need this book in your collection." -"
- Mustang Monthly"I am an avid reader, but I'm not usually one to pick up a biography. This one drew me in, however. The graphic novel format of Full Throttle Cool was a more inviting style that's designed to appeal to a wide range of audiences, and I consumed all 96 pages in a single sitting. McQueen's exploits have a, "Wait, this guy was for real?" quality that keeps the pages turning. The story is told through dialogue and background text, and rises above the occasionally stilted prose that's often found in comics. Motorbooks is an imprint of Quarto Publishing best known for glossy historical tomes on automobiles and motorcycles. This graphic novel is a new direction, and it's an entertaining way to learn about an often-overlooked automotive icon."
- TopSpeed.com"For fans who want to learn more, there's a new book - a graphic book, really, done in artistic style, with drawings and dialogue - that captures McQueen pretty well."
- SeattlePI.com"Complete with striking illustrations and entertaining anecdotes, its an evocative approach to an already much-covered personality."
