Nat Turner Issue #1
A comic book adapting the real life accounts, journal entries, and court confessions of Nat Turner, an African citizen kidnapped and enslaved during the American slave trade during the early 1800's. Nat Turner would later become the leader of an insurrection in Southampton, Virginia. The entire comic is presented from start to finish with no spoken dialogue, with the story presented entirely through visual media.
