I just found out my man Elihu Bey did the art for a graphic novel adaptation of the history of Black America called Still I Rise: A Graphic History of African Americans. as soon as i cop it, i'll be sure to review it here! but you can beat me to it... click the pic to order on Amazon.comhere's the sales pitch:
"Still I Rise: A Graphic History of African Americans
is a critically acclaimed work with an impressive scope: the entire history of Black America, told in an accessible graphic-novel form. Updated from its original version—which ended with the Million Man March—it now extends from the early days of colonial slavery right through to Barack Obama’s groundbreaking presidential campaign. Compared by many to Art Spiegelman’s Maus, Still I Rise is a breathtaking achievement that celebrates the collective African-American memory, imagination, and spirit."
