Lewis & Clark

Nick Bertozzi’s graphic novel Lewis & Clark (First Second, 2011–present) reimagines the epic Corps of Discovery expedition as a vivid, historically grounded adventure. Bertozzi, both writer and artist, brings a warm, cartoonish energy to the perilous journey of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, blending meticulous research with a humanizing focus on the men’s personalities and the Native peoples they encountered. Though only one issue has been published, it stands as a distinctive, creator-driven take on a foundational American story.
