“I spent 10 years in professional politics and eight writing comics, and so I look at it from both sides. I don't understand the logic in being frustrated with a system, so you choose to be a part of the reason why the system is so frustrating.

“"March" was inspired by "Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story." I actually first heard about that comic from John Lewis, who told me that it played an important role in the movement. And so once he told me about that, it made me start thinking, "Well, why doesn't John Lewis write his own comic book?".” ThinkingWritingFirstsWellsMadeImportantBookStoriesRolesHeardMovementKingsInspiredComicMarchComic BookLutherMontgomery Author:Andrew Aydin
“I went on to write my graduate thesis on the ["Montgomery Story"] comic book itself. It was the first long-form history that was ever written about it.

“I spent almost two years working on this book ['March'] before we ever had a publisher, before we ever had a title. And when you're reading it, and you're writing it, and you're ingesting it, sometimes a single word just comes up over and over and over again. And if you're trying to capture the essence of what it is you're trying to tell, you don't have a whole lot of space.” IfsWritingTryingYearsTwoBookSometimesWholeReadingSpaceEssenceCome UpTitlesTwo YearsMarchCapturePublishersSingle Word Author:Andrew Aydin
