review:
'Direct Action Gets the Goods: A Graphic History of the Strike in Canada' by Graphic History Collective and David Lester is a brief history of strikes in Canada.

Strikes have involved art, so what better way to tell the history of strikes than by a group of artists. Strikes were born out of harsh working conditions like the fur trappers who refused to work without equal pay or the huge one in Winnipeg in 1919 where workers were looking for a voice.

I liked the story this tells, but it's pretty brief. The art styles by the various artists are fairly complementary which leads to a story that flows with each creative change.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Between the Lines and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
