King. Vol. 02
Seattle, Wash. : Fantagraphics ; London : Turnaround, 2002.
Format: Book
Description: 80 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm
The long-awaited sequel to the graphic novel biography of the life and career of civil rights leader Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., winner of a 1995 Parent's Choice Award and often compared to Art Spiegelman's Maus. Volume II begins where Volume I left off, probing King's life story with an unflinchingly critical eye, casting King as an ambitious, dichotomous figure deserving of his place in history but not above moral sacrifice to get there. An expressionist visual style combined with a painterly attention to detail propel the story with cinematic momentum. In colour and b/w.
