Crafted by the talented hands of Melissa Chan, an Emmy-nominated foreign correspondent based in Los Angeles and Berlin, and illustrated by the activist artist Badiucao, known as "China's Banksy," You Must Take Part in Revolution marks the debut of both creators in the realm of comic books.

Here's a glimpse into the heart of the story:

From Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and esteemed activist artist Badiucao comes a near-future dystopian graphic novel about technology, authoritarian government, and the lengths that one will go to in the fight for freedom.

It's 2035. The US and China are at war. America is teetering on the edge of fascism. Taiwan is split in two. Amidst rising tensions between nuclear powers, three idealistic young friends, first united in Hong Kong, find their beliefs diverging on how to confront this oppressive techno-authoritarian world. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia each embark on distinct paths towards change, grappling with the extent of their commitment to freedom and the transformation they undergo in the process.

A powerful and significant narrative about global totalitarian futures, and the personal costs of resistance.
