And today we are tackling another interesting but slow political read, namely Students For A Democratic Society A Graphic History Written by Harvey Pekar, Art by Gary Dumm and Edited by Paul Buhle. And while Harvey Pecar's name was the primarily reason that I picked this volume up, I feel like the packaging design of this book does a huge disservice to the wide selection of stories it contains written by a variety of people, some of them autobiographical.

While I had never heard of the SDS before reading this, it did tie into a somewhat recent (at that point) episode of Rev Left Radio entitled Heavy Radicals: The FBI's Secret War on America's Maoists that covered the ideology of the SDS (which had Maoists members) from a more Maoist perspective, unlike this graphic novel which was generally anti Maoist.

Overall I thought the artwork was really good and the work was likely as accessible as it really could be. I feel like I will return to this book in a few years, like many heavier reads I've tackled in the past, and have no problems thanks to my ever-growing brain knowledge. I do feel like knowing more about activist history is only become more important, so I'm glad this exists, I just (again) wish that other people could have been credited more obviously.
