Vietnam
(n.p.), (n.p.), 1967. Julian Bond's 19-page anti-war "comic," illustrated by T.G. Lewis. Written during the two year period that Bond was appealing to take his elected seat in the Georgia House of Representatives, a seat he was initially denied for voicing support for SNCC's policy of opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Bond provides a clear time line of American involvement and the accompanying hypocrisy of stated purpose, with commentary on the extra toll of involvement on the Black population. He eventually served four terms in the Georgia House of Representatives and six terms in the Georgia State Senate, eventually serving as chairman of the NAACP. Note that Bond is not credited as the author on the publication. A fine copy in stapled wrappers. A remarkable production that links the Civil Rights movement, the anti-Vietnam War movement, and dramatic graphic illustrations that foreshadow the rise of underground comics and graphic novels in the coming years.
