It is 490BC and Athens is at war. Leander trying to rouse his comrades for the morrow's battle against a far mightier enemy begins to recount the story of his own life. Having witnessed the evils of the old tyrannical regimes and the rise of a new political system Leander tells a tale of danger bravery and big ideas of the death of gods and the tortuous birth of democracy. Through a series of breathtaking scenes we see that democracy was forged from chance and historical contingency - but also through the cunning and courage of a group of highly talented driven individuals. Alecos Papadatos and Annie Di Donna artists behind the international phenomenon Logicomix together with writer Abraham Kawa deliver a graphic novel bursting with extraordinary characters and vibrant colour one that offers fresh insight into how this greatest of civic inventions came to be.
