“March” tells the story of Lewis’ role in the civil rights march and the demonstrations he helped lead as a Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee activist in the 1960s.

As expected, Lewis received a “hero’s welcome” at the convention as he proceeded to give a presentation on the book project, according to Roll Call’s “Heard on the Hill” blog. Over 100 people camped out at the convention to see the presentation and upon arrival he was “swarmed by supporters.”

Wonder if his next comic book will be about being spit on and called n-word by the TEA Party? Preview of this comic from topshelfsamples.com:

And hog-face Lewis will be the first to point his finger of blame at ‘whitey’, which of course will always work with the people he targets for his exploitation. He is now down to using comic books. Why? Because he and his democrip race mongers have been so successful dumbing down the black people in America. With democrips, up is down, etc.

Maybe in the next issue he’ll be eaten by Galactus....

I really can't wait for the page that shows Charlton Heston and other White Conservatives who were part of the civil rights movement.....

Well they will probably be portrayed as manning the fire hoses instead......

Reginald Denny in the 1992 Los Angeles riots a white construction truck driver, was beaten nearly to death by a group of black assailants who came to be known as the "L.A. Four". But that actually happened -- We don't need a comic book to portray something that DID NOT happen. Fantasy vs. Reality!

Some years ago there was a survey to determine the stupidest member of the US House of Representatives.The results of that survey represented good news...and bad news... for Mr Lewis.The good news was that Representative Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island was voted the stupidest.The bad news was that Mr Lewis came in second.

How about a comic book featuring the “June Teenth” returnees headed south every year for the watermelon picnic and to show off their new rides?

Lewis looks like a senile and angry old coot. Hard to believe that he ever became a congressman in such a racist country.

Over 100 people camped out at the convention to see the presentation

I wonder what the other 129,900 Comic-Con convention goers were doing at the time. Last time I was there, there were practically 100 people in line to use the restroom.
