Satchel Paige by James Sturm
Baseball Hall of Famer Leroy 'Satchel' Paige (1906-1982) changed the face of the game in a career that spanned five decades - and made a point of writing his own history... and then rewriting it. A tall, lanky fireballer, he was arguably the Negro League's hardest thrower, most entertaining storyteller and greatest gate attraction. Now the Center for Cartoon Studies turns a graphic novelist's eye to Paige's story. Told from the point of view of a sharecropper, this compelling narrative follows Paige from game to game as he travels throughout the segregated American South.The Golem's Tremendous Swing, Market Day, and Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow are among the works of cartoonist James Sturm. He is the co-founder and current director of The Center for Cartoon Studies. Alexis Frederick-Frost is a graphic novel co-author and illustrator for the Adventures in Cartooning series. Alexis' illustrations have featured in Nickelodeon Magazine, First Second Books, and other publications. Alexis currently resides in South Carolina with his wife.
Andrew Arnold is one of the Adventures in Cartooning series' co-authors. His work has featured in Nickelodeon Magazine and Cambridge University Press, among other places. Andrew is originally from Houston, Texas, but now resides in New York City.
