Nat Turner<br />
The graphic novel centers itself around Nat Turner, a rebellious<br />
slave in America. Kyle Baker, the illustrator and writer of ‘Nat<br />
Turner’ decided to move away from his clean, cartoon style of<br />
drawing towards a more controlled one. With that being said, the<br />
look of it is quite expressive and rough in nature.<br />
This sort of style has been made with the use of ink and charcoal on<br />
most of the pages making it feel “heavy and important”.<br />
The depiction of such a famous historical figure in the world of the<br />
comic industry has proved to be educational and enlightening.<br />
Children can learn and appreciate historial facts and stories a lot<br />
more better through such a medium of learning.<br />
