The Accidental Candidate: The Rise and Fall of Alvin Greene - Tapa blanda

"Long-form journalism meets sequential art in this startling and informative investigation of South Carolina politics. This is an important story that deserves wide reader attention"--Booklist; "I really like Blue Delliquanti's open art and friendly figures...her faces are key to making the cast seem like real people...this graphic novel is a fun way to relive this oddity of political history"--Comics Worth Reading.

In 2010 a 32-year-old, socially awkward, unemployed African-American Army Veteran, who had been kicked out of the service and was living with his father in the South Carolina countryside while facing federal pornography charges, spent a significant portion of his life's savings on the filing fee to run for U.S. Senate in the Democratic primary to challenge incumbent tea party kingmaker Jim Demint. Alvin Greene didn't campaign, didn't even have a website and no one knew who he was. Until he won.
