About this ebook

“This stirring graphic-novel-style biography weaves together black history with the personal story of the charismatic leader Malcolm X” (Booklist).

Assassinated at age thirty-nine in 1965, Malcolm X battled the horrifying legacy of African American slavery throughout his short life. With this thoroughly researched and passionately drawn biography, award-winning editor Andrew Helfer and acclaimed artist Randy DuBurke capture the civil rights leader's extraordinary transformation from Malcolm Little, a black youth beaten down by Jim Crow America, into Malcolm X, the charismatic, controversial, and doomed national spokesman for the Nation of Islam.
