"The stellar artwork by Améziane (Muhammad Ali) includes tabloidlike chapter openers rendered
with bold fonts and exaggerated letterboxes. His expressive realism and muted colors invoke a
nostalgic 1970s pulp effect reminiscent of Ed Piskor’s work.", Publishers Weekly Starred Review
“Sure to be one of the most discussed books this year.”, Library Journal Starred Review
“Vividly illustrates the uprising at Attica and emphasizes its important place in ongoing
struggles for justice.”, Shelf Awareness Starred Review
“Don’t sleep on “Stand at Attica”—I read it last night and was blown away...
beautifully illustrated, carefully researched, and lovingly written.
This is history brought alive.”
-- Andrew Aydin, co-author of Rep. John Lewis’ March graphic novel trilogy
“This book grabs you on the first page and never lets you go.
The heroism and the horror of Attica is all there…
This is a must read book for everyone.”
-- Reginald Hudlin
“If you have an interest in history, memoir, social justice, or just the life
of a good man in an extraordinary circumstance, you should track down
a copy and experience the story directly.”, Black Nerd Problems
“Big Black: Stand at Attica is a striking and powerful look at a dark
chapter in American civil rights history.”, Comic Book Resources
“I found it painful to read in a single sitting because of the raw emotion of it.
It's a tragic story, as are the events that shaped it. Written skillfully by
Jared Reinmuth, drawn with purpose by Améziane, Big Black: Stand at
Attica is just a brilliantly done book.”
-- Jamal Igle, creator of Molly Danger and artist on Black
“Disturbing, horrifying, brutal, sad. Saddest of all, everything that happens
within its pages...is still going on.”
-- Ho Che Anderson, King: A Comics Biography
