Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known to his schoolmates as Pel, grew up in p overty in the Sao Paulo region of Brazil. He was too poor to afford a real soccer ball, so he played with a ball of newspaper tied together with strin g. Yet he dominated the youth leagues and signed his first professional soc cer contract at the age of fifteen. Within two years he was celebrated inte rnationally, when he led Brazil to victory at the world cup. Known by his f ans as "O Rei" (The King), Pel is widely regarded as the greatest soccer p layer of all time. But he's more than just an athlete: he also traveled the world as goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. Pel is the living symbol of a sp ort he dubbed "the beautiful game"a game that brings people together reg ardless of race or nationality. In the graphic novel Pele: The King of Soccer, Eddy Simon and Vincent Brascaglia beautifully depict Pele's rise from the slums of Brazil to the national stage.
