Yep, politics have invaded!

Actually, a congressman is going to be at SDCC to promote March and other non-fictional graphic novels.

He has a pretty rad background, and I'd be curious to read a graphic novel of his life.  Plus, I guess if a graphic novel is one way to get folks reading about the Civil Rights Movement I'm ALL for it!!
