Rob Edwards discusses his new graphic novel ‘Defiant’
Detroit-born screenwriter Rob Edwards has a new graphic novel coming out in February 2024 detailing a little-known figure of America’s Black history: Robert Smalls. One Detroit’s Chris Jordan caught up with Edwards at Comics & More in Madison Heights to talk about his novel “Defiant,” its Kickstarter support, and why a comic book is a perfect, if unorthodox, way to teach kids Black history.
