Now in stock! In this anthology of seven comics essays, author and graphic novelist Nate Powell addresses living in an era of what he calls “necessary protest.” Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency of Protest is Powell’s reflection on witnessing the collapse of discourse in real time while drawing the award-winning trilogy March, written by Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, this generation’s preeminent historical account of nonviolent revolution in the civil rights movement. Powell highlights both the danger of normalized paramilitary presence symbols in consumer pop culture, and the roles we play individually as we interact with our communities, families, and society at large. #natepowell #cabcomics #flagstaff #friday (at Cab Comics) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNdbqZ0pUwO/?igshid=1muw6izc5fmb2

I’m very much looking forward to my friend Nate Powell’s forthcoming graphic novel “Save It For Later: Promises, Parenthood and the Urgency of Protest.” I interviewed Nate for Fluke 17, link in bio! @seemybrotherdance #natepowell #soophienunsquad #towncraftLR #flukefanzine #flukezine #zine #zines #fanzine #fanzines #comics #comix #graphicnovel #graphicnovels https://www.instagram.com/p/CLjzVuyjT5O/?igshid=fubzrw4i2xx0

On my trip to #Arkansas for research on my graphic novel #shangrilaestates I went to @retrograde_comics_aoa and picked this up by @top_shelf_comics and #natepowell https://www.instagram.com/p/B9HiIEtB-OI/?igshid=a0il44t253wr

Books four, five, and six for #blacklitchallenge! I’ve had the first two books of this trilogy on my shelves for too long without reading them, and without picking up the third. Finally I decided to go grab the third book at the library this weekend and then read all three of them yesterday. What powerful books! Like most Americans, I knew bits and pieces of this story, but certainly not all of it, and not strung together as a personal narrative like this. It is, of course, a massive story that is difficult to find a starting and ending place for, but ending this with the Voting Rights Act is clever and satisfying, especially as the book jumps back and forth from the Civil Rights movement to the inauguration of Barack Obama (and also Lewis’s status as a Congressional Representative.) . . Given the subject matter, these books are difficult to read at times, and there were a few places (particularly in the third book) where I had to put the book down and walk away for a while. But I think all these moments were handled with the right weight — conveying the seriousness of the violence activists faced without lingering too long. . . These are an amazing achievement and I hope they find a permanent place in the graphic novel canon alongside classics like Maus and Persepolis. . . Have you read this? What other graphic non-fiction would you recommend? . . #march #johnlewis #andrewaydin #natepowell #blackstorieshavepower #blackhistorymonth #civilrightsmovement #graphicnovels #americanhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_w_5mAxEP/?igshid=yuvka8tniwsi

2009 / 2019 . . . It’s been the best ten years for Fluke. I published issue 5 in 1998, while strung out on heroin up in Seattle. Somehow I was able to pull that off but it’d be another 7 years before before issue 6. That one received a mostly cold response and perhaps I became discouraged. I tried again in 2009, I reached out to Mike Watt who graciously accepted my offer for an interview. I asked Nate Powell to do the cover, which turned out amazing. Jason returned to the fold with an interview with Kevin Kerby. Others contributed. This was the first issue done by a printer, Markley at Econo Press. It was well received and I decided to revamp what has always been my passion. Some people play music. Some people paint. Others write novels. I publish fanzines. Thank you all for the encouragement and interest in my little magazine. It means the world to me, truly. . . . . . #flukefanzine #flukefanzinefriday #flukezine #natepowell @seemybrotherdance #mikewatt #zines #zines #fanzine #fanzines #ourzinecouldbeyourlife #damnitfeelsgoodtobeazinester https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dJoqJAXJ4/?igshid=w2lgd8jawjqt
