Leuyen Pham may well be the best graphic novel artist going right now, and Gene Luen Yang does an amazing job creating characters with unique, fun personalities in an immersive story. It's no wonder he's been recipient of some of the highest award honors in the industry!...more

I think it should be required reading for any freedom-loving American because it cuts right to the heart of freedom.
