  Scarce first edition and only printing of Martin Luther King and The Montgomery Story; signed by both Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King

  HASSLER, Alfred and Benton Resnik. [Martin Luther King Jr.; Coretta Scott King].

  Martin Luther King and The Montgomery Story: How 50,000 Negroes Found a New Way to End Racial Discrimination.

  Nyack, N.Y: The Fellowship of Reconciliation, [1957].

  First and only edition of this highly influential and historic comic book used to teach the tactics and power of nonviolent resistance during the Civil Rights Movement. Quarto, original pictorial wrappers, the text is presented as a graphic novel illustrated in color. Boldly signed by Martin Luther King on the front panel, "Best Wishes Martin L. King" and additionally signed by Coretta Scott King. With annotations in blue pen noting that King signed the book in 1958 and Coretta in 1985. Illustrated by Sy Barry, text by John Duffy. In very good condition. Very rare. Copies of the original comic book are uncommon, and mainly reside in institutions. Copies signed by Dr. King very rarely appear on the market and copies signed by both him and Coretta are exceptionally rare, this possibly being a unique example.
