Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Ho Che Anderson. Ho Che Anderson has spent over 10 years researching, writing, and drawing King, a monumental graphic biography that liberates Martin Luther King Jr. from the saintly, one-dimensional, hagiographic image so prevalent in pop culture. Here is King -father, husband, politician, deal broker, idealist, pragmatist, inspiration to millions- brought to vivid, flesh-and-blood life. Softcover, 7 1/2-in. x 11-in., 70 pages, full color. Cover price $8.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "1963-1965!" Story and art by Ho Che Anderson. The long-awaited sequel to the graphic novel biography of the life and career of civil rights leader Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., which will ultimately trace the life of the late civil rights leader from his birth to assassination. Winner of a 1995 Parents' Choice Award, yet decidedly controversial, speculative, and intended for adults, King I garnered extensive press coverage and was Fantagraphics' best-selling book in the company's history when published in 1992. King II picks up where King I left off, probing King's life story with an unflinchingly critical eye, casting King as an ambitious, dichotomous figure deserving of his place in history but not above moral sacrifice to get there. Anderson's expressionistic visual style is wrought with dramatic energy; panels evoke a painterly attention to detail but juxtapoz with one another in such a way as to propel King's story with cinematic momentum. Softcover, 7 1/2-in. x 11-in., 70 pages, full color. Cover price $11.95.
