I See the Promised Land

Arthur Flowers, Guglielmo Rossi, and Manu Chitrakar blend biography, history, and visual poetry in this 2013 graphic novel from Groundwood Books (House of Anansi Press). The book traces the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., from his roots in the American South to his global impact, using a striking fusion of Western comics and traditional Indian Patua scroll painting. It matters as a singular, cross-cultural meditation on King’s vision, rendered by a creative team that bridges continents and artistic traditions.
