110 Years Ago Today
Derf Backderf's 'The Dissidents' graphic novel exposes eerie parallels between past and present America
Derf Backderf has released a new graphic novel called 'The Dissidents', which delves into a period marked by anti-immigrant sentiment, unpopular wars, and a general intolerance of dissent.
The graphic novel explores a time that bears striking similarities to the present day, with themes that are just as relevant now as they were back then.
## What it's about The story takes us back 110 years, to an era that was characterized by a strong anti-immigrant fervor, wars that were deeply unpopular, and an official intolerance of dissent.
## Why it matters This graphic novel matters because it draws parallels to today's America, where similar issues are still prevalent. The exploration of these themes serves as a reminder that history has a way of repeating itself, and that the issues we face today are not new, but rather a continuation of the societal problems of the past.
The release of 'The Dissidents' is a timely reminder of the importance of learning from history and the need to be aware of the dangers of intolerance and the importance of dissenting voices.
