Good Trouble - John Lewis and Andrew Aydin
Authored by Alex B. Johnson
It might be the most important “comic book” ever created.
“March” — the collaboration between Congressman John Lewis, his congressional staffer Andrew Aydin and illustrator Nate Powell — is a monumental work of nonfiction. It propels the spirit and power of the Civil Rights Movement’s nonviolent action into the 21st century. The trilogy — the first graphic novel ever to win the National Book Award and the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award — has also expanded the historical canon to include comics. Schools in at least 40 states are teaching “March,” and it’s an international bestseller with a half-million copies in print in seven languages.
