This past weekend, politician and genuine American hero John Lewis made the trip to Comic-Con International to spread the word about "March: Book Two," the second volume of the graphic novel trilogy detailing his experiences in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. But as detailed by the Washington Post, Rep. Lewis didn't just drop in for a quiet appearance, he marched through the convention center with a group of children in tow. Wearing a trench coat and backpack filled with copies of "March," Lewis arrived at Comic-Con "cosplaying" as his 25-year-old self, who led hundreds on a march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

Co-written with his staffer Andrew Aydin and drawn by Nate Powell ("Swallow Me Whole"), the "March" books are a three-part set of memoirs telling Rep. Lewis' story from his days as a young boy in segregated Alabama, to being beaten in the Selma march of 1965, to his time as U.S. Representative for Georgia's 5th congressional district, a position he's held since 1987.

On Saturday, Lewis took the stage at Comic-Con International alongside Aydin and Powell to discuss the books, his lifelong message of nonviolent protest and share a preview for "Book Three." In attendance were a group of third-graders from San Diego's own Oak Park Elementary, who then accompanied the congressman in a march from the panel to his signing at Top Shelf Productions' booth, echoing his "Bloody Sunday" march.
