The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book

Gord Hill’s The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book (2010–2016, Arsenal Pulp Press) is a single-issue graphic history that distills five centuries of Indigenous resistance into a stark, unflinching visual narrative. Hill, both writer and artist, chronicles key struggles from first contact through the Zapatista uprising, using a bold black-and-white style to illustrate colonial violence and the ongoing fight for sovereignty. This comic matters as a powerful, grassroots corrective to mainstream histories, reclaiming the story of Indigenous survival from a perspective rarely seen in the medium.
