Editorial Reviews

...much of this work feels like visual poetry…A virtuoso work of artistry with important content that might alienate some but powerfully stir others.

Booklist STARRED Review

Urgent and grittily rendered…”

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Save It For Later explores the space where political life intersects with the personal.

The Beat

While many graphic biographies and historical memoirs can feel inert, his dynamic line and talent for using the grammar of comics to shape drama and emotion, as well as action, are a standout… an absorbing reflection on intergenerational inheritance.”

The New York Times

This sincere volume carries off parenting inspiration with gravitas.

Publishers Weekly STARRED Review

[Powell] asks readers not to forget, not to look away, but to remember what we can achieve when we come together. Save it for Later argues for solidarity in family, community, and across the nation now and for the future.”
