Status Updates From Malcolm X: A Graphic Biography

Another historical graphic novel that's barely more than an illustrated Wiki article. Almost no 'scenes;' instead a running narration. Even then, lacking substance. No mention of perceived social good of NOI (reforming convicts to live a more disciplined life), nor much exporation of Malcolm X's evolving philosophy. Nothing on black pride, or animus towards whites until after he softens on it post-Hajj. Just okay.

I like this book, graphic novel that forces you to read slow and take it in. Sometimes I feel as though the illustrations of characters faces are copy and pasted throughout chapters, kinda odd, lacks emotion.

phenomenal art style im gagged

It’s the 1960s in the biography. I have to say, I see little difference in the way black men were harassed by police back then to what can happen to black men on the streets of America today.

Great reading voice for this biography.,
