!!!!! yes everyone should read this, it's truly a work of art! i ordered the original newsprint version years ago and it's seriously one of my favorite comics not only for it being puerto rican-made and about our revolutionary history, but for the sheer craft of it 😭💖
Not sure how I missed this in the initial Eisner announcement but John Meijas's The Puerto Rican War is up for Best Reality Based Work & it's roughly hundred pages of linocut comics that's taken him YEARS to execute. So impressive on a technical level!
