One thing that hit us at the launch was how River of Stories originally came out just 3 years after the collected Maus and 1 year after Joe Sacco's Palestine. Though published in a tiny run, it was part of that 1st wave of graphic novels tackling political issues in a new way. https://t.co/GsWvJFmhrv
