“…Nat Turner furnished plenty of material for some rich class discussions. Baker’s graphic novel and his appearance on campus were both important parts of our course. (If nothing else, it did the students a lot of good to hear that at least one artist’s creative decisions are primarily technical and design-oriented, not thematic; sometimes a silhouette is just a silhouette.) But I wish Nat Turner had the courage to judge or condemn its hero as easily as it praises him.”
