By Zack Quaintance — Seen: Rachel Carson is a forthcoming original graphic novel that is part of the Seen: True Stories of Marginalized Trailblazers series. This set of books, published within BOOM! Studios’ imprint BOOM! Box, sheds light on the lives of important historical figures who do not traditionally appear in textbooks, yet deserve to have their vast contributions to humanity highlighted, especially given the difficult odds they’ve faced.

Today, Comics Bookcase is honored to have an exclusive preview of Seen: Rachel Carson by writer Birdie Willis, artist Rii Abrego, colorist Kiernan Quigley, and letterer DC Hopkins. The book — due out March 24 — tells the story of Carson, an environmental activist whose books changed the way America dealt with environmental crises. Ultimately, Carson’s best-selling books helped spark the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. It’s a fascinating and important story, and you can find 10 pages from the new book below.
