A graphic novel biography of the escaped slave, abolitionist, public speaker, and most photographed man of the nineteenth century, based on his autobiographical writings and speeches, spotlighting the key events and people that shaped the life of this great American. Recently returned to the cultural spotlight, Frederick Douglass's impact on American history is felt even in today's current events. Comic book writer and filmmaker David F. Walker joins with the art team of Damon Smyth and Marissa Louise to bring the long, exciting, and influential life of Douglass to life in comic book form. Taking you from Douglass's life as a young slave through his forbidden education to his escape and growing prominence as a speaker, abolitionist, and influential cultural figure during the Civil War and beyond, The Life of Frederick Douglass presents a complete illustrated portrait of the man who stood up and spoke out for freedom and equality. Along the way, special features provide additional background on the history of slavery in the United States, the development of photography (which would play a key role in the spread of Douglass's image and influence), and the Civil War. Told from Douglass's point of view and based on his own writings, The Life of Frederick Douglass provides an up-close-and-personal look at a history-making American who was larger than life.

Have you ever wondered why Black characters get killed in movies? Did you ever notice that there are no people of color in The Wizard of Oz or The Lord of the Rings? Were you surprised to find out that America had become post-racial after the election of President Obama? Were you even more surprised when America stopped being-post racial? How did Black people come to be…well…Black? If you have ever asked any of these questions (and even if you haven’t), pop culture critic David F. Walker has the answers. From the creator of BadAzz MoFo comes this profound, provocative, and deeply personal collection of rambling essays that examine the intersection of racial identification and popular culture. Learn how African Americans came to be who they are in the United States, and the role that popular culture played in their racial identification. Drawing from years of watching too many movies, too much television, and thinking really hard about what he saw, Walker has crafted nine essays that seek to explain how race and racism came to exist in America, and how it plays out in our lives. Becoming Black: Personal Ramblings on Racial Identification, Racism, and Popular Culture is an insightful and informative journey through how African Americans are defined in the United States.
