This special edition of Ho Che Anderson's acclaimed graphic biography offers an expanded and revised look at the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It collects the complete trilogy of Anderson's original series, along with new material, presenting a nuanced, impressionistic portrait of the civil rights leader through a blend of stark black-and-white art and experimental storytelling. Published by Fantagraphics, this volume stands as a definitive, artistically ambitious take on King's journey from preacher to icon.
