About the series
In 2013, Top Shelf released this single-issue preview of March: Book One, the opening chapter of Congressman John Lewis’s award-winning graphic memoir trilogy. The series, co-created by Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and artist Nate Powell, chronicles the Civil Rights Movement through Lewis’s firsthand experiences, blending personal narrative with historical record. This advance look offers a glimpse into the first book’s powerful storytelling, which would go on to become a landmark work in both comics and nonfiction. Its significance lies in how it uses the comic medium to make a pivotal era of American history immediate and accessible.
