The three volume graphic novel series March chronicles Rep. John Lewis‘ experiences during the Civil Rights Movement. The first two volumes have been released and you can read my review of the first volume and the second volume. Short version, they’re amazing.

Reception has been so good IDW Publishing and Top Shelf will be launching a super-sized hardcover edition collecting the first two volumes. Plus, this year’s Free Comic Book Day features a FCBD March Trilogy Sampler.

To honor the Civil Rights Movement and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., March is being spotlight around the media today, MLK Day.

The Diane Rehm Show will be re-running their hour-long interview with Congressman John Lewis and co-writer Andrew Aydin. The show airs on NPR and Sirius Satellite Radio.

Additionally on Monday, CSPAN-2 will broadcast (twice — at 2:30pm and 8:30pm EST) the one-hour BookTV speech by Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin from the Miami Book Fair.

After MLK day, there will also be a MARCH interview on Fusion’s America with Jorge Ramos (10pm EST).

March is an amazing graphic novel. Not only does it entertain, but it brings real history to life recounting the amazing experiences of Congressman Lewis and everything he fought for. I can’t stress enough how good it is. You can pick up a copy of the first volume here and the second volume here.
