John Derf Backderf’s THE DISSIDENTS

from From Akron & Beyond Podcast Hosted by The Summit FM

We are excited to have as our return guest graphic novelist Derf Backderf, whose new book THE DISSIDENTS is receiving rave reviews internationally. The book is a deep dive into a lost history of censorship, intimidation, and outright violence directed towards anyone criticizing the U.S. government during the World War 1 era. The art is superb, the narrative compelling - and the ramifications all too relevant today. Derf’s previous books include MY FRIEND DAHMER, TRASHED, and KENT STATE. With THE DISSIDENTS, he may have created his masterpiece. Listen Thursday, September 10th. at 10 pm, on The Summit FM, 91.3, or anytime wherever you get your podcasts!
