Praise for 'LIES' & a new 'FALL THROUGH' podcast interview!

What an honor to recieve a 4.5-star review from The Slings & Arrows for Lies My Teacher Told Me: “Powell takes a landmark book (and its updates) and presents a version maintaining its integrity while making it more accessible. It’s important and it’s magnificent.”

Lies My Teacher Told Me will be released this Tuesday, April 16th, and is already available in comics shops! You can also order them both (as well as most of my other books) from me directly, signed & sketched here.

My other brand-new graphic novel Fall Through is still hot off the presses, and here’s a new podcast interview I did with Ryan Zlomek from Meditations podcast.

If you’re in Indiana, I’ll be doing a double-book-release signing for both Fall Through and Lies My Teacher Told Me this Saturday, April 20th at Vintage Phoenix Comics (114 E. 6th) from 2-4pm. See you there!

One week until 'LIES MY TEACHER TOLD ME' hits shelves!

My full comics adaptation of the late, great James Loewen’s Lies My Teacher Told Me will be out in just a week!

You can grab one via your local shop, Bookshop, Powells, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or order signed/sketched copies directly from me here. And while you’re at it, pick up a copy of my still-brand-new graphic novel Fall Through, which has enjoyed a tremendous reader response over the last two months!

If you’re in Bloomington, I’ll be doing a double book-release signing at Vintage Phoenix Comics (114 E. 6th) on Saturday, April 20th from 2-4pm. See you there!

2nd starred review for SAVE IT FOR LATER!

I’m moved to find that Save It For Later has received its second starred review, this time from Publishers Weekly!

“Powell perfectly sums up his mission: ‘It is we, together, who will determine what kind of society our kids grow into— by what we each choose to do, or not do.’ This sincere volume carries off parenting inspiration with gravitas.”

Save It For Later will be released everywhere on April 6th— there are still a few days left to order signed & sketched copies via my local shop, Vintage Phoenix Comics, and these copies will hopefully arrive before release day.

Signed SAVE IT FOR LATER bookplates for retailers!

If you’re a bookstore or comics shop, please holler at me about signed bookplates for Save It For Later— Abrams ComicArts and I will send as many as copies ordered. Available everywhere April 6th!

Please email me at seemybrotherdance@yahoo.com, and we’ll work it out— thanks!
