Through Chwast's illustrations, cartoons and comics we get to relive his early

his wedding to Priscilla, and much more. Millions of fans loved him, purchased
his records, attended his sold out shows and went to his thirtythree films.
Death, forty years ago, has not diminished his fame. "Elvis Lives!" The Mighty
Elvis is a celebration, in art and design, of the life of a great icon of the
