King: The Special Edition
A SPECIAL EDITION OF A FANTAGRAPHICS CLASSIC, NOW AT A SPECIAL PRICE
Ho Che Anderson's biography of America's great civil rights advocate Martin Luther King is both a monumental recreation of his tumultuous public life (and death) and an intimate portrait of the man as politician, friend, lover, husband, and father. With the triumphant ascendancy of Barack Obama to the Presidency of the United States, Martin Luther King's advocacy for racial equality and the dignity of all men stands as one of the greatest and most successful achievements toward social justice in the 20th century. This Special Edition of King includes the original 240 page graphic novel as well many unique and original additions, including an essay by the author on the making of the book, preliminary sketches, pages of the typescript, visual breakdowns, "deleted scenes," and a prelude about race relations in contemporary America entitled Black Dogs.
