jashcraft88 's review for:
Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts
by Rebecca Hall
4.25. One thing I often struggle with in graphic non-fiction is that creators don’t make use of the medium. I wonder why something couldn’t be an article. Not so here. All the praise to Hugo Martinez for some creative and mesmerizing line work (and line tricks). As for Hall, she had lines that stopped me in my tracks. For the most part, she succeeds in blending narrative with exposition to make her points. I do wish we got a bit more narrative stories, but I think the one at the end was enough to satisfy that desire for humanizing things. I especially enjoyed the Q&Q at the end, particularly that on, “the measured use of historical imagination”. Worth a read for sure.
