WINNER OF THE 2026 EISNER AWARD - BEST REALITY-BASED WORK A NEW YORK TIMES. BEST GRAPHIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR From the Ignatz and Eisner Award-winning cartoonist Ben Passmore comes a whirlwind graphic history of Black life, taken by force "Passmore raises the scale from the personal to the historical. with his characteristic acerbic wit and impetuous visual style. "—NPR. It’s the summer of 2020, and downtown Philly is up in flames. “You’re not out in the streets with everyone else. ” Ronnie asks his ambivalent son, Ben, shambling in with arms full of used books: the works of Malcom X, Robert F. Williams, Assata and Sanyika Shakur, among others. “Black liberation is your fight, too. ”So begins Black Arms to Hold You Up,. a boisterous, darkly funny, and sobering march through Black militant history by political cartoonist Ben Passmore. From Robert Charles’s shootout with the police in 1900, to the Black Power movement in the 1960s, to the Los Angeles and George Floyd uprisings of the 1990s and 2020, readers will tumble through more than a century of armed resistance against the racist state alongside Ben—and meet firsthand the mothers and fathers of the movement, whose stories were as tragic as they were heroic. What, after so many decades lost to state violence, is there left to fight for. Deeply researched, vibrantly drawn, and bracingly introspective, Black Arms to Hold You Up. dares to find the answer. "Virtuosic. refreshing. Every element seems packed with meaning. "—The New York Times.
