Rose Wilder Lane as a Cartoon — Peter Bagge talks about Credo, his graphic biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter
Peter Bagge has written graphic novels/biographies about three free-thinking, independent women living in the early to mid-twentieth century: birth control advocate Margaret Sanger, African-American writer Zora Neale Hurston ... and Rose Wilder Lane.
Peter describes the release of his book on Rose Wilder Lane,called CREDO, with one word: crickets. It just didn’t sell well. Even Land of Laura host Sandra Hume had dismissed the title at first, not quite absorbing that it was a biography about Rose Wilder Lane. But CREDO is creative and entertaining and enlightening, showing Rose Wilder Lane's life from her early childhood in 1880s Dakota Territory to her last days in Connecticut in 1968.
Now Peter’s here on Land of Laura to tell us all about it.
