The real origin story behind how Rep. John Lewis became THE hit of Comic-Con… - The Washington Post

The real origin story behind how Rep. John Lewis became THE hit of Comic-Con… - The Washington Post: "In that convention-center room, on that day, we’d thought the congressman was kidding about the costume. But I should have known better from that gleeful glint in his eye: Rep. Lewis had filed that idea away.

And so, on Saturday, the civil-rights hero made his return to Comic-Con, this time to support “March: Book Two” alongside Aydin and the trilogy’s artist, the Eisner Award-winning Nate Powell. And this time, Lewis indeed chose to cosplay.

Trench coat? Check.

Backpack? Check.

And inside that backpack were even a couple of books: the first two volumes of the RFK Award-winning “March.”"
