SUMMARY:More Weight: A Graphic Novel Release with Ben Wickey
DESCRIPTION:“Every word is an accusation…and every whisper kills.” This staggering graphic novel explores the infamous Salem witch trials and the long shadows they cast more than 300 years later. \n  \nIn Salem\, Massachusetts\, 1692 is a year of terror. When accusations of witchcraft plunge the community into paranoia and death\, curmudgeonly farmer Giles Corey and his great-souled wife Martha are forced to confront their troubled pasts\, fighting to hold onto their principles even at the cost of their lives. In the 1860s\, famed writers Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow stroll the streets of Salem together\, reflecting on their own dark connections to those wicked days. Today\, graphic novelist Ben Wickey wrestles with the complex legacy of “the Witch City” and what it shows us about the best and worst of humanity. \n  \nBased on true events\, set in three centuries\, and hand-drawn over a decade\, More Weight is a stunning visual symphony — a unique and profound inquiry into the infamous Salem witch trials and the long shadows they still cast on us all. \n  \n> CLICK HERE TO REGISTER <\n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nCourtesy Ben Wickey\nBen Wickey is a Massachusetts-born artist\, writer\, and animator who graduated from the California Institute of the Arts.
