Exclusive: See Fifteen Pages of Kyle Baker’s Brilliant Comic ‘Nat Turner’

Kyle Baker is one of America's best and funniest independent cartoonists. His series "The Bakers," about the exploits of his family, is an all-ages classic, and his just-released book, How to Draw Stupid, is as useful a guide as any comics artist could hope for. But there's a a serious side to Baker, too, as his Eisner Award–winning series "Nat Turner" proves. Collected for the first time, this brilliantly drawn, starkly told history of a legendary slave rebellion is out this month from Abrams. This week on the Comics Page, we're proud to present an exclusive fifteen-page preview from Nat Turner.
