New D+Q: Peter Bagge's CREDO: The Rose Wilder Lane Story hits stores today!
April 16, 2019
Hot off the heels of his critically-acclaimed biography of Zora Neale Hurston, Peter Bagge is back with Credo, a graphic account of the life of Rose Wilder Lane. This is a vibrant book about a vibrant life; Bagge's bubbly panels—coloured by his wife Joanne Bagge—conduct Lane's verve to the reader.
A true trailblazer, Lane was widely accomplished politically and as a writer, having founded the American libertarian movement and having helped bring her mother's Little House on the Prairie series to its status as a classic.
Bagge is a thoughtful and thorough biographer. As he mentions in the foreword, Lane's life was "a whirlwind of ever-changing people, places, and events." To help cohere, Bagge includes lengthy back-notes, which untangle the various threads and deepen the reader's appreciation for a remarkable life.
