Love and Rockets meets Russian Doll in this all-new graphic novel
about an underground punk band caught in a loop of an eternally
repeating tour--from National Book Award-winning cartoonist Nate
Powell At first glance, Diamond Mine seems to have emerged in 1979
as Arkansas' first punk band. Instead, this quartet is revealed to
be interdimensional travelers from 1994, guided--largely against
their will--by vocalist Diana's powerful spell embedded into their
song "Fall Through." As Diamond Mine tours the country, each
performance of the song triggers a fracturing of space-time
perceptible only by the band members as they're transported to
alternate worlds in which they've never existed, but their band's
legend has. That is, until Jody, the band's bassist and the story's
protagonist, finds herself disrupting Diana's sorcery, even at the
cost of her own beloved work and legacy. While some band members
perpetually seek the free space offered by the underground punk
scene to escape from their mundane or traumatic lives, others work
toward it as a means of expression, connection, and growth--even if
that means eventually outgrowing Sisyphean patterns, and inevitably
outgrowing their beloved band-family altogether. Master cartoonist
Nate Powell has crafted a graphic novel that serves as both a
brilliant example of circular storytelling, reminiscent of
Netflix's Russian Doll, and a love letter to the spirit of punk
communities. Fall Through will stay with the reader long after
they've turned the last page, asking the impossible question: Would
you burn down everything you love in order to save it all?

"Congressman John Lewis has been a resounding moral voice in the
quest for equality for more than 50 years, and I'm so pleased that
he is sharing his memories of the Civil Rights Movement with
America's young leaders. In March, he brings a whole new generation
with him across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, from a past of clenched
fists into a future of outstretched hands." - President Bill
Clinton "Superbly told history." - Publishers Weekly (starred
review) "Dazzling... a grand work." - Booklist (starred review)
"Lewis's remarkable life has been skillfully translated into
graphics... Segregation's insult to personhood comes across here
with a visual, visceral punch. This version of Lewis's life story
belongs in libraries to teach readers about the heroes of America."
- Library Journal (starred review) "A powerful tale of courage and
principle igniting sweeping social change, told by a strong-minded,
uniquely qualified eyewitness... the heroism of those who sat and
marched... comes through with vivid, inspiring clarity."- Kirkus
Reviews (starred review) Congressman John Lewis (GA-5) is an
American icon, one of the key figures of the civil rights movement.
His commitment to justice and nonviolence has taken him from an
Alabama sharecropper's farm to the halls of Congress, from a
segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington, and from
receiving beatings from state troopers to receiving the Medal of
Freedom from the first African-American president. Now, to share
his remarkable story with new generations, Lewis presents March, a
graphic novel trilogy, in collaboration with co-writer Andrew Aydin
and New York Times best-selling artist Nate Powell (winner of the
Eisner Award and LA Times Book Prize finalist for Swallow Me
Whole). March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis' lifelong
struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age
on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and
segregation. Rooted in Lewis' personal story, it also reflects on
the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement. Book One
spans John Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting
with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student
Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through
nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins, building to a stunning climax on
the steps of City Hall. Many years ago, John Lewis and other
student activists drew inspiration from the 1958 comic book "Martin
Luther King and the Montgomery Story." Now, his own comics bring
those days to life for a new audience, testifying to a movement
whose echoes will be heard for generations. Coretta Scott King
Author Honor Books selection: recognizing an African American
author and illustrator of outstanding books for children and young
adults: "March: Book One," written by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin,
illustrated by Nate Powell, and published by Top Shelf Productions.

First you march, then you run. From the #1 bestselling,
award–winning team behind March comes the first book in their
new, groundbreaking graphic novel series, Run: Book One “Run
recounts the lost history of what too often follows dramatic
change—the pushback of those who refuse it and the resistance of
those who believe change has not gone far enough. John Lewis’s
story has always been a complicated narrative of bravery, loss, and
redemption, and Run gives vivid, energetic voice to a chapter of
transformation in his young, already extraordinary life.”
–Stacey Abrams “In sharing my story, it is my hope that a new
generation will be inspired by Run to actively participate in the
democratic process and help build a more perfect Union here in
America.” –Congressman John Lewis To John Lewis, the civil
rights movement came to an end with the signing of the Voting
Rights Act in 1965. But that was after more than five years as one
of the preeminent figures of the movement, leading sit–in
protests and fighting segregation on interstate busways as an
original Freedom Rider. It was after becoming chairman of SNCC (the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and being the youngest
speaker at the March on Washington. It was after helping organize
the Mississippi Freedom Summer and the ensuing delegate challenge
at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. And after coleading the
march from Selma to Montgomery on what became known as “Bloody
Sunday.” All too often, the depiction of history ends with a
great victory. But John Lewis knew that victories are just the
beginning. In Run: Book One, John Lewis and longtime collaborator
Andrew Aydin reteam with Nate Powell—the award–winning
illustrator of the March trilogy—and are joined by L.
Fury—making an astonishing graphic novel debut—to tell this
often overlooked chapter of civil rights history.
From Nate Powell, the National Book Award-winning artist of March,
a collection of graphic nonfiction essays about living in a new era
of necessary protest-now in paperback with sixteen pages of new
materialIn seven interwoven comics essays, author and illustrator
Nate Powell addresses living in an era of what he calls "necessary
protest." Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency
of Protest is Powell's reflection on witnessing the collapse of
discourse in real-time while illustrating the award-winning trilogy
March by Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, this generation's
preeminent historical account of nonviolent revolution in the civil
rights movement. Powell highlights both the danger of normalized
paramilitary symbols in consumer pop culture and the roles we play
individually as we interact with our communities, families, and
society at large. Each essay tracks Powell's journey from the night
of the election-promising his four-year-old daughter that Trump
will never win-to the reality of the authoritarian presidency,
protesting the administration's policies, and navigating the
complications of teaching his children how to raise their own
voices in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous and more
and more polarized. While six of the seven essays are new,
unpublished work, Powell has also included "About Face," a comics
essay first published by Popula Online that swiftly went viral and
inspired him to write Save It for Later. The seventh and final
essay was written after the 2020 presidential election, and
examines the outcome of that contest in relation to the events of
the last four years, with a particular focus on the COVID-19
pandemic and global protests in the wake of the murder of George
Floyd. The updated paperback comes out just in time for the 2022
midterm elections and includes bonus content featuring a
conversation between Powell and Derf Backderf, the New York
Times-bestselling author of My Friend Dahmer and Kent State, where
they discuss the militarization of civilian spaces and the
aftermath of the January 6th insurrection. As Powell moves between
subjective and objective experiences raising his children-depicted
in their childhood innocence as imaginary anthropomorphic
animals-he reveals the electrifying sense of trust and connection
with neighbors and strangers in protest. He also explores how to
equip young people with tools to best make their own noise as they
grow up and help shape the direction and future of this country.

From Nate Powell, the National Book Award-winning artist of March,
a collection of graphic nonfiction essays about living in a new era
of necessary protest In this anthology of seven comics essays,
author and graphic novelist Nate Powell addresses living in an era
of what he calls "necessary protest." Save It for Later: Promises,
Protest, and the Urgency of Protest is Powell's reflection on
witnessing the collapse of discourse in real time while drawing the
award-winning trilogy March, written by Congressman John Lewis and
Andrew Aydin, this generation's preeminent historical account of
nonviolent revolution in the civil rights movement. Powell
highlights both the danger of normalized paramilitary presence
symbols in consumer pop culture, and the roles we play individually
as we interact with our communities, families, and society at
large. Each essay tracks Powell's journey from the night of the
election-promising his four-year-old daughter that Trump will never
win, to the reality of the Republican presidency, protesting the
administration's policies, and navigating the complications of
teaching his children how to raise their own voices in a world that
is becoming increasingly dangerous and more and more polarized.
While six of the seven essays are new, unpublished work, Powell has
also included "About Face," a comics essay first published by
Popula Online that swiftly went viral and inspired him to expand
his work on Save It for Later. The seventh and final essay will
contextualize the myriad events of 2020 with the previous four
years-from the COVID-19 pandemic to global protests in the wake of
George Floyd's murder to the 2020 presidential election
itself-highlighting both the consistencies and inversions of widely
shared experiences and observations amidst a massive social
upheaval. As Powell moves between subjective and objective
experiences raising his children-depicted in their childhood
innocence as imaginary anthropomorphic animals-he reveals the
electrifying sense of trust and connection with neighbors and
strangers in protest. He also explores how to equip young people
with tools to best make their own noise as they grow up and help
shape the direction and future of this country.
Nate Powell has been called "a writer-artist of genius" and "the
most prodigiously talented graphic novelist" of his generation.
This box contains the reasons why. Swallow Me Whole won the Eisner
Award for its portrayal of teen mental illness, Any Empire explores
the trickle-down effects of war on young minds, and You Don't Say
collects Powell's short comics from 2004 up to the debut of the
landmark March trilogy. Together, these three volumes represent the
first decade of mature work from one of the new giants of
cartooning: a creator renowned for his sensitivity, intimacy, and
visual courage.
The groundbreaking graphic novel memoir of a living legend of the
civil rights movement, MARCH: BOOK ONE has swiftly become an iconic
work. Created by Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin and Nate
Powell, this #1 New York Times bestseller is also a Coretta Scott
King Honor book, a required text in classrooms across America, and
the first graphic novel to win a Robert F. Kennedy Book Award. Now
for the first time ever, this modern classic - praised by everyone
from President Bill Clinton to LeVar Burton to Tim Cook - appears
in an oversized hardcover edition, so the stunning work of Lewis,
Aydin, and Powell can be appreciated on a grander scale.

Congressman John Lewis, an American icon and one of the key figures
of the civil rights movement, continues his award-winning graphic
novel trilogy with co-writer Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell,
inspired by a 1950s comic book that helped prepare his own
generation to join the struggle. Now, March brings the lessons of
history to vivid life for a new generation, urgently relevant for
today's world. After the success of the Nashville sit-in campaign,
John Lewis is more committed than ever to changing the world
through nonviolence - but as he and his fellow Freedom Riders board
a bus into the vicious heart of the deep south, they will be tested
like never before. Faced with beatings, police brutality,
imprisonment, arson, and even murder, the movement's young
activists place their lives on the line while internal conflicts
threaten to tear them apart. But their courage will attract the
notice of powerful allies, from Martin Luther King, Jr. to Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy... and once Lewis is elected chairman of
the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, this 23-year-old
will be thrust into the national spotlight, becoming one of the
"Big Six" leaders of the civil rights movement and a central figure
in the landmark 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

2016 National Book Award Winner for Young People's Literature #1
New York Times Bestseller Welcome to the stunning conclusion of the
award-winning and best-selling MARCH trilogy. Congressman John
Lewis, an American icon and one of the key figures of the civil
rights movement, joins co-writer Andrew Aydin and artist Nate
Powell to bring the lessons of history to vivid life for a new
generation, urgently relevant for today's world. By the fall of
1963, the Civil Rights Movement has penetrated deep into the
American consciousness, and as chairman of the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee, John Lewis is guiding the tip of the spear.
Through relentless direct action, SNCC continues to force the
nation to confront its own blatant injustice, but for every step
forward, the danger grows more intense: Jim Crow strikes back
through legal tricks, intimidation, violence, and death. The only
hope for lasting change is to give voice to the millions of
Americans silenced by voter suppression: "One Man, One Vote." To
carry out their nonviolent revolution, Lewis and an army of young
activists launch a series of innovative campaigns, including the
Freedom Vote, Mississippi Freedom Summer, and an all-out battle for
the soul of the Democratic Party waged live on national television.
With these new struggles come new allies, new opponents, and an
unpredictable new president who might be both at once. But
fractures within the movement are deepening ... even as 25-year-old
John Lewis prepares to risk everything in a historic showdown high
above the Alabama river, in a town called Selma.
