Right now, I'll be talking about a graphic novel of Malcolm X's biography. Too me Malcolm X is just the other side of the same coin Martin Luther King Jr is on, and they both are some historical figures that I look up to. I had read this graphic novel, by Andrew Helfer art by Randy Duburke, a few years ago and found it very enlightening. Up until that point I had only had the Spike Lee movie 'X' to influence me. This book had some details in it about Malcolm's life that I did not know about, along with corrections the movie had changed. I was finally able to buy the book when I was in New York and I stopped in to an activist book store and coffee shop.
If your into American history, civil right leaders, or just true stories about tragic lives you should check this out.
