Latest Graphic Novel About John Lewis Coming In August

“Run: Book One” — about civil rights activist and Georgia Congressman John Lewis — begins after the signing of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.

The award-winning series of graphic novels about civil rights activist and Congressman John Lewis will continue a year after his death.

The publisher Abrams announced Tuesday that “Run: Book One” will be published Aug. 3, just over a year after Lewis died at age 80.

As with the “March” trilogy, which traced Lewis’ growing involvement with the civil rights movement in the 1960s, “Run” features longtime collaborator Andrew Aydin and illustrator Nate Powell as they shape a narrative around Lewis’ reflections. Comic artist L. Fury will assist with illustrations.
