Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency of Protest

"There aren’t a lot of mid-length, nonfiction comics being produced these days, but Nate Powell shows us why the essay is still a terrific format for visual storytelling. In seven interconnected pieces, Powell describes what it was like to be both an artist and a parent to a 4-year-old daughter while despairing of, and fighting for, American democracy over the past five years. As ever, Powell’s drawings are just stunning: vigorous, heartfelt and supremely accomplished. Save It for Later is an invaluable record of these times, and a great read besides."
