Run for It: Stories of Slaves Who Fought for Their Freedom

Marcelo D'Salete's Run for It collects three stark, visually powerful stories of enslaved people in Brazil fighting for their freedom, originally published in Portuguese and translated by Andrea Rosenberg. Released by Fantagraphics in 2017, this single-issue graphic novel brings D'Salete's distinctive, expressive art and unflinching historical perspective to an English-speaking audience. It matters as a vital, artist-driven work that centers a rarely told chapter of resistance in the Americas.
