This groundbreaking body of comics journalism collects for the first time Anderson's entire biography of the renowned civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. King not only recreates the major events in King's public life, but chronicles the daily, rough-and-tumble, behind-the-scenes political maneuverings and strategic compromises that were required to mobilise millions of people toward a common goal. Anderson delivers a fully rounded portrait of a fallible human engaged in a superhuman effort - his fears, his doubts, his relations to his family are truthfully rendered.
