The creative minds behind You Must Take Part in Revolution are Melissa Chan, an Emmy-nominated foreign correspondent with bases in Los Angeles and Berlin, and the activist artist Badiucao, often dubbed "China's Banksy." This project marks the comic book debut for both talented creators.

Here's what you can expect from this gripping narrative:

From Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and esteemed activist artist Badiucao comes a near-future dystopian graphic novel about technology, authoritarian government, and the lengths that one will go to in the fight for freedom.

It's 2035. The US and China are at war. America is a proto-fascist state. Taiwan is divided into two. As conflict escalates between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths who first met in Hong Kong develop diverging beliefs about how best to navigate this techno-authoritarian landscape. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia travel different paths toward transformative change, each confronting to what extent they will fight for freedom, and who they will become in doing so.

A powerful and important book about global totalitarian futures, and the costs of resistance.
