Top Shelf Productions has announced a partnership with civil rights pioneer and congressman John Lewis.
Lewis is writing the original graphic novel March alongside his aide Andrew Aydin, reports ICv2.
The book will chronicle the 70-year-old's life. Lewis's political activism began with organising sit-in demonstrations in Nashville as a youth and led to him becoming a leading light in the American Civil Rights Movement.
"It is my hope that this work will be meaningful and helpful to future generations to give many people here in America and around the world the urge, the desire, to seek, to build, their own world, their own future," said Congressman Lewis.
He has served as the US Representative for Georgia's 5th District since 1987.
