Background and creation
Carey came to write Sentences: The Life of MF Grimm after he was prompted by others to share his life story.
Vertigo picked up the story and released it, drawn by Ronald Wimberly.[2]
Story
The plot of the comic follows the story of MF Grimm's life from early childhood in the 1970s to around the year 2006.[3] Through that time period it follows his exploits, from working with some of hip hop's biggest stars, to being paralyzed in an assassination attempt, to being sentenced to life imprisonment, and finally being released after only three years served.[4]
