It is so exciting to see real stories been put in the comics. When I am tired of reading nonfiction stories in real life, this kind of comics can bring some light to my reading experience.
March book is a comic about John Lewis, an American politician, and civil rights leader. The comic is about his political story. It is a black and white comic start with a protest on Edmund Pettus Bridge.
I surprised that I can see a comic about politics. I don't think it is propaganda of John Lewis. It might somehow publicize the Democratic Party because John Lewis was one of the lead creators for this book, but I do think this is more like a history graphic than propaganda. It is such an interesting way to represent a political story.
The second comic I read was Hip Hop Family Tree. It is a comprehensive introduction of Hip Hop history. I am a Hip Hop fans, so I enjoy the comic. I am definitely listening to old school Hip Hop when I was reading this comic. The art style is more like graffiti. I like the way it presents the culture, from macro to micro, from technology to background. At the end of the comic, the book mentioned a lot of Hip-Hop artist by using a different style of art to present their name. I like this part because it shows how different artist represents different kind of Hip Hop.
