The New Adventures of Abraham Lincoln by Scott McCloud
5.0
People always forget this book, but it is one of my favorites.
I have not read it in years, but it spoke to me at the time. Especially the panel mocking the unspoken idea that black people were just waiting for Lincoln to free them.
I identified with the protagonist, a smart, black teen named Byron and I loved how he both supported and questioned the real Lincoln. He did not let the man off the hook for suspending habeus corpus, or for his views on equality.
I need to find my copy and read it again so that I can give a better review.
