Another reminder that the other book that I illustrated last year (written by @ronaldwimberly) is also currently in stores and available to buy! It’s called Now Let Me Fly, and it’s about the first black fighter pilot in WWI. But really, it encompasses so much than that. It’s a true-life adventure that flies you around the the world, from the boxing rings of Paris to the trenches of World War I. It’s being published by @01firstsecond so I’ll let them tell you more. - NOW LET ME FLY From author Ronald Wimberly, creator of the viral comic Lighten Up, comes a soaring graphic biography that casts new light on the first African-American fighter pilot. On the eve of World War I, Eugene Bullard was a refugee of the Jim Crow South who was determined to find a place where a Black man would be treated as a fellow human being. His search took him from rural Georgia to the streets of Paris, from the vaudeville stage to the boxing ring, and finally, from the muddy trenches to the open skies. In 1914, Bullard joined the fight to defend France—and made history as the world’s first African American fighter pilot. In this candid but sensitive portrait of Bullard, author Ronald Wimberly balances the personal and the historical to interrogate concepts of cynicism, idealism, fear, glory, and the pervasiveness of anti-Black racism. - Unfortunately it’s not coming out until January 3, 2023. For more information, and to pre-order, check out the ‘Now Let Me Fly’ link in my bio. - #ronwimberly #eugenebullard #wwi #ww1 #biplane #boxing #blackhistory #graphicnovel #warcomics #firstsecond #illustrationsketch #sketchbook #characters #charactersketch #comics #comicartist #comicartwork #comicartists #comicartistsoninstagram #digitalsketch #photoshop #cintiq https://www.instagram.com/p/ConO1bMqI5Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BOOK REVIEW : Now Let Me Fly : A Portrait of Eugene Bullard

Ronald Wimberly First seconds Books Published January 3, 2023

Now Let Me Fly is a deeply powerful graphic biography about the first African-American fighter pilot, Eugene Bullard. Born in Columbus (GA) under the oppression of Jim Crow laws, Bullard dreamt of Europe, especially France, where he heard black people are free, safe and treated as fellow human beings. The eve of World War 1, he realized his dream, and discovered Parisian life, before joining the fight in 1914 to defend France.

The artwork is incredible and the story is really interesting. I was fascinated by that forgotten page of history. Even if the graphic novel depicts a dark page of history, it is easy to read and the narrative is perfect. Eugene Bullard had an inspiring life, never letting go of his dreams : from a ride with the gypsies where he learned to ride horses, to England where he mastered boxing, up to France where he served with the 170th Moroccan Division at Verdun and after being wounded, joined the Lafayette Escadrille and became the first African American fighter pilot.
