Johnny Appleseed by Paul Buhle
A graphic biography of John Chapman, aka Johnny Appleseed, who is the stuff of legend; he spread the seeds of apple trees from Pennsylvania to Indiana. Along with apple trees, he offered the seeds of nonviolence and vegetarianism, good relations with the indigenous peoples, and peace among the settlers. He was one of the New World's earliest followers of the Swedish theologian Emanuel Swedenborg. The story of John Chapman is a counter-narrative to the glorification of violence, conquest, and prevailing notions of how the West was won.Noah Van Sciver rose to prominence in the comic book industry with his critically acclaimed Blammo series, which has won him three Ignatz award nominations. Mad magazine, Best American Comics 2011, The Stranger, and other graphic anthologies have all included his work. He is currently the writer and artist for the alternative weekly newspaper Westword's Rufus Baxter comic strip. The Hypo: The Melancholic Young Lincoln, Youth Is Wasted, Saint Cole, and Fante Bukowski: Struggling Writer are Van Sciver's four graphic novels.
