Three uniquely interesting graphic novels

Escape to Gold Mountain presents the stories of 19th century North American Chinese in a fast-paced, accessible format.

The partially fictionalized saga of the Wong family is interwoven with actual historical events, such as Chinese farm workers murdered while they slept in their tents in Issaquah, Washington and the the mutilation and brutal killings of Chinese miners by white miners during the Rock Springs Massacre in Wyoming.

In I See the Promised Land: A Life of Martin Luther King Jr. , African American writer and blues performer Arthur Flowers tells the story of Martin Luther King in musical prose, while Indian scroll painter Manu Chitrakar illustrates this American story in the style pf Bengali Patua art.

In this video, Arthur Flowers narrates the story of their collaboration.

The Pack follows a group of Egyptian and Nubian Werewolves as they travel through a fantasy version of Africa.

Creator Paul Louise-Julie's says, "...as an American-born, French-Caribbean kid growing up in Europe; I couldn’t fully connect with [European fantasy] stories... I was an interested tourist, nothing more."

The Pack was created out of Louise-Julie's wish to "see more originally Black fantasy completely unrelated to racism or social commentary".
