Watch NPR’s Ron Elving and Harvard Law’s Alan Jenkins Discuss 1/6 The Graphic Novel

Posted on by

USCHS Trustee and NPR News Senior Editor and Correspondent Ron Elving moderates a fascinating discussion with Harvard Law Professor and author Alan Jenkins about his comic series, 1/6: The Graphic Novel. Written by Jenkins and Gan Golan and illustrated by Will Rosado, 1/6 answers the question: What if the January 6 Insurrection had been successful?

This graphic novel chillingly demonstrates how strategic disinformation and extremism convinced ordinary Americans to undermine cherished constitutional values and support violent sedition. Inspired by speculative fiction such as 1984, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Twilight Zone, and Parable of the Sower, 1/6 explores themes of autocracy, scapegoating, and more, all presented through a captivating, character-driven story.

By using graphic novels as a medium, 1/6 aims to encourage readers to engage in meaningful discussions about democracy and the need to protect our values. Additionally, 1/6 includes an Education and Action Guide developed by the Western States Center, a nonprofit organization that works with communities and organizations to strengthen democracy.

1/6 The Graphic Novel #2 Blends Art and Advocacy – Out now!

Posted on by
1/6: The Graphic Novel #2

The anticipated second issue of 1/6: The Graphic Novel is now available, offering a deeper and more complex exploration of a world where the January 6th insurrection was successful. Harvard Law School Professor Alan Jenkins and author Gan Golan, alongside artist Will Rosado, continue their provocative narrative under the auspices of the Western States Center.
 
In 1/6: The Graphic Novel #2, the narrative shifts focus to events leading up to the insurrection, offering a prequel to the dramatic scenes depicted in the first installment. This edition takes readers through the complex web of events and decisions that set the stage for January 6th, providing a rich backdrop for the characters’ stories. The novel employs a visual system to distinguish between factual events, speculative scenarios, and fictional components, offering a comprehensive understanding of the factors that culminated in the real-life insurrection. This approach not only serves as a compelling narrative device but also as a valuable educational resource, shedding light on the intricacies and motivations behind the pivotal events that shook the foundations of American democracy.

The relevance of 1/6: The Graphic Novel #2 is further heightened by the current political climate. With former President Trump’s recent indictments and the ongoing debate over election integrity, the novel’s themes resonate more than ever. Alan Jenkins’ legal expertise, including his Supreme Court experience in constitutional and voting rights cases, brings a layer of authenticity and insight into the narrative. This expertise is vividly showcased as the story navigates through the complexities of an altered America, pondering the future of democracy and justice.
 
Furthermore, the novel continues to bridge the gap between art and activism. Building on the interactive elements of the first issue, 1/6: The Graphic Novel #2 features the “Petition to Bar all Insurrectionists from Office,” which has already garnered significant attention with over 60k signatures. This initiative underscores the novel’s commitment to not only narrate a story but also to stimulate civic engagement and discourse.

1/6 : A What If? comic about The Insurrection

Posted on by

What if the attack on the US Capitol succeeded?
1/6 is a 4 part comics series written by Alan Jenkins and Gan Golan and illustrated by Will Rosado. Prof. Jenkins and Golan joined me on the podcast to talk about their comic which combines comics journalism, speculative fiction and activism. 

Drawing on real-life events, 1/6 travels the road that led from back-room meetings, white supremacist rallies, and the Four Seasons Landscaping parking lot to a violent attack on the Capitol that left several Americans dead and shook our nation to its core. It imagines a world in which the events of that day turned out very differently. Through a diverse cast of characters 1/6 builds towards a story of how we might organize and fight for democracy.

Review: Catalyst Prime – FCBD and Nobel #1

Posted on by

CATALYST PRIME – FCBD 2017

Writers – Christopher J. Priest and Joseph P. Illidge

Artists – Marco Turini and Will Rosado

This is what FCBD is suppose to be about. An introduction into a world of comics for beginners who only know what their geek other has dragged them to on opening night, up to the longtime reader who knows the difference between adamantium and vibranium. And not just a stand alone, one shot gimmick but something that will bring that reader back to a comic store to buy the next issue. The book itself is also the launch of a new line of comics which have promised to not only entertain, but address problems the industry faces on the page and in the back offices.

The Catalyst Prime writing team of Priest and Illidge, hit all the right notes; great starting point for new readers, technobabble without deep diving into a Ph.D. program to follow, quick glimpses into the future of the upcoming books as well as planting the big conspiracy seed for the overall story arc. And a comic wouldn’t be a comic without the art, which Turini and Rosado provide with a style that blends into a realistic sci-fi noir, from the school bus to the space station, it all works visually.

If you know your comic place runs out of the free stuff quick on FCBD and you need to be online at 7:00am, then hit those sheets early on Friday or hope they put this in the collected trade. Recommendation cop this.

NOBLE – #1

Writer- Brandon Thomas

Artist- Roger Robinson

Issue 1 of Noble jumps right in with a very brief and redacted file giving us the highlights, the who and what’s. We don’t get the “spider bite“ but Thomas picks up one year from where the FCBD Catalyst Prime left off, and gives us close to 24 pages of action showcasing Nobel’s powers.

People will finally see what Robinson can do with his art. A long time ago I was a clerk at DC Comics and got to see his original art, somewhere in the printing process the ink and colors got super muddy and took away from the work that he put in. This time around whatever was messing his art up is out the way and his work shines.

These two books make for an amazing jump point for readers new and old.
