Graphic Artists Drawing Comix At The Margins: Nate Powell and Mohammad Saba'aneh

This show originally aired 15 months ago, before the death of civil rights rights movement leader representative John Lewis on July 17, 2020.  Laura caught up with Nate recently to ask him about his understanding of the legacy of Lewis with whom he worked on the award winning graphic novel the March trilogy.  Watch this web exclusive at https://Patreon.com/theLFShow

This week's episode:

Far more than an escape, comics can pack a political punch, as does the work of this week’s guests. First up, Mohammad Sabaaneh describes how he transposes his lived experience to the page, exposing the cruelties of Israeli occupation and celebrating popular resistance as the path forward. Then, Nate Powell uses his craft to break down a specifically American phenomenon – the creep of fascist aesthetics into our police and consumer choices.  Music in the Middle:  “The Burning City” by Q Burns Abstract Message from his album “Audio Totem Pole” courtesy of the artist.
