If anyone saw the Daily Show a fews week ago with Congressman John Lewis he talked about his graphic novels series, March, about his life and the Civil Rights Movement. I just finished them and would recommend checking them out. Only the first two books are out but if you are into graphic novels/comics I’d also recommend Joe Saccos’ Footnotes in Gaza.
