The life & career of James Brown intertwined with the history of the Civil Rights Movement. A very educational graphic novel. I wish it came with a soundtrack.

tokorowilliamwallace Books do come with soundtracks now (playlists on Spotify), but I think it's mostly YA/NA fantasy romance for which such its intended audience would fully expect and demand. It's the new Gen Z way. 2y
tokorowilliamwallace Mostly concerning and contextualizing the characters and relationships. It is all about aesthetics and vibes. It's a super popular tik-tok and Instagram trend to stitch a reel of pictures representing the vibes and aesthetics of these kinds of books, its characters, and their relationships. 2y
