This was interesting and informative, with good artwork. It's not the most detailed account, letting the art do a lot of the talking, but it's definitely a good starting point.
"An emotional and compelling method of teaching this revolt, and about slavery in general. The book is so powerful, that few words are needed - most pages have none."
Graphic novel de Kyle Baker (brilhante) sobre o escravo revoltoso dos EUA do século XIX.
Whoa! About as intense as you might think.
Should be required reading for every American. Amazing book.
