The pacing is intimate, with the film taking its time across ten studio visits, allowing you to really soak in Jackson's process and passion.

This documentary has a limited release and can be quite hard to find, especially on older formats like VHS or DVD. Collectors often note its unique portrayal of an underrepresented narrative in American history through the lens of graphic art, making it a distinctive piece for those interested in comics and documentary filmmaking. As it gains more recognition, interest in acquiring a copy might grow, so keep an eye out for any special editions that may surface.
