Shamu: The 1st Killer Whale in Captivity

Shamu…. is a graphic novel about the life of an orca whale, it habits and behavior, and finally, about the captured orca trained and starring at Seaworld in San Diego.  The original Shamu died in 1971 after six years in captivity.  Seaworld keeps Shamu’s legend alive by calling their performing orcas Shamu and Namu.  Interesting, but not new information and the graphics detract from the story.
