The Life and Times of Conrad Black

The Life and Times of Conrad Black is a wordless novel by Canadian artist George Walker, published in 2013.

Walker stated his motivation was that Black was "one of the most outspoken and charismatic characters in the elusive one per cent of people who make up the establishment in Canada.

He is a public person of international stature, at one time a media baron and still a man of great influence and wealth."

[2] 100 wordless black-and-white woodcut prints make up the book telling Black's life story.

Walker does not use the book to attack or belittle Black, but simply relates the mogul's story from his days at Upper Canada College—where he was caned—through his rise in the media, his arrest and imprisonment for fraud and obstruction of justice and release from prison.
