February 14: March Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell

This first-hand account of the author's lifelong struggle for civil and human rights spans his youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., and the birth of the Nashville Student Movement.

As a child in the 1940s, author John Lewis rode in a hand-me-down school bus on the dirt roads that traversed "colored" communities in the South. As a grown-up, he marched repeatedly against discrimination, eventually becoming a Representative for Georgia's 5th U.S. Congressional District in 1986. Years later he was a guest of honor at Barack Obama's presidential inauguration.

Nate Powell's moody ink-wash art is perfect for March Book One, the first of a heroic three-volume story in a graphic novel format.
