  • PART 2: Under the Banner of King Death, Marcus Rediker and David Lester
    Mar 1 2023

    PART 2

    listen to PART1 here:

    Ahoy, mateys! Anne Marie here! In this episode, we share part 2 of Anne Marie's interview with Marcus Rediker and David Lester about their graphic novel, Under the Banner of King Death. Yup, that’s right, we’re going to talk about Pirates. If you listened to our most recent mini episode, you met David and Marcus in our Let’s get Quizzical segment.

    Not only do we talk about egalitarian style government on the pirate ship, we also talk about the evolution of David and Marcus’s collaboration and how Marcus’s scholarly work is transformed into a graphic novel under the skillful hands of David.
