You can get more information and pre-order here.

Here’s a new feature in the Washington Post about it, including an interview with Andrew Aydin.

This was a real labor of love, done with our late, beloved friend, Congressman John Lewis in his final years. It was completed in respect of his vision, covering events from the immediate aftermath of the Voting Rights Act passage in 1965 through his departure from SNCC in 1966.

I took on a different role for Run (specifically, I had two backed-up books to complete after finishing March— Come Again and Two Dead, plus my work for Save It For Later). For this book, I drew the first 10 pages as an aesthetic bridge with the March trilogy, collaborated with the fantastic L. Fury on the covers, did 15-20 spot illustrations, miscellaneous SFX & lettering work throughout, and generally tried to help with the consistency of Rep. Lewis’ vision.

Thank you, everyone, for your patience, understanding, and faith as we all worked and adapted together to usher his vision and message out into a world desperately needing it. This history isn’t history. It’s now.
