The next night, April 8th, we'll all be doing a discussion/ Q&A/ signing at the Brooklyn Central Library at 7 pm . It's free-- see you there!

Team MARCH in Bloomington, IN-- September 21st!

Here's Monroe County Public Library's official announcement that John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and I are this year's "The Power Of Words" guest authors! It's an honor to bring the whole creative team back to the town where I live.

We'll be doing a free discussion, Q&A, and signing at IU Auditorium at 7:30 pm on September 21st, with additional early events for thousands of high schoolers and middle schoolers in the area, for whom our March saga has been introduced to the classroom.

More details as they unfold!

Real Talk in Washington Post about Indiana's & Arkansas' pro-discrimination legislation.

Here's a piece in the Washington Post in which I discuss Indiana's (and potentially Arkansas') recent legal protections for discrimination, under the guise of "religious freedom".

In-depth interview at Comics Bulletin!

Here's a very in-depth new interview with me at Comics Bulletin, in which I discuss You Don't Say , March , parenthood, regionalism, aging, and tons more-- I'd even call this interview definitive!

MARCH hits The Daily Show With Jon Stewart!

In case you missed it, Congressman and civil rights legend John Lewis, co-author of the March saga (written with Andrew Aydin, and drawn by me) had an amazing appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on March 9th. The entire episode was dedicated to Congressman Lewis and the 50th anniversary of the Selma marches, which served as an impetus for the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act (recently gutted by the Supreme Court).

Here's Top Shelf's coverage of the appearance.

You can watch the extended interview here.
