365 - Four-Color Flashback: March
from Gobbledygeek
In honor of Black History Month, Paul and Arlo are discussing John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell's March for their second Four-Color Flashback of 2019. This three-volume set, published from 2013-16, follows Rep. Lewis from his days raising (and baptizing) chickens in Pike County, Alabama, to standing side-by-side with leading figures of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. The boys discuss how their whiteness both helps and hinders the discussion, their admiration for Lewis' adherence to the tenets of nonviolent resistance, why comics are uniquely suited to convey a story of such historical import, and Nate Powell's genius use of lettering. Next: who knows! Join us for the ride. If you dare. THE BREAKDOWN Run Time: 01:43:01 00:00:34 - Intro / Disclaimer (We're white.) 00:06:45 - Main Topic 01:38:37 - Outro / Next
