Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency of Protest by Nate Powell, artist for John Lewis’s acclaimed Civil Rights graphic memoir the March trilogy, is a deeply felt collection of comics essays exploring the conflicts and emotional scars of living through the Trump era while raising two young daughters; it also explores the need to embrace some form of activist resistance that makes sense, and, he hopes, also makes a difference. In this eight-page excerpt Powell surveys life in a liberal college town surrounded by white supremacist activity, sundown towns, and local fascists. Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency of Protest by Nate Powell is out now from Abrams ComicArts.
