Panel Mania: 'Toussaint Louverture: The Story of the Only Successful Slave Revolt in History'.

The article focuses on Nic Watts and Sakina Karimjee's graphic adaptation of C.L.R. James's 1934 play, *Toussaint Louverture: The Story of the Only Successful Slave Revolt in History*. This illustrated work dramatizes the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) through vivid caricatures and narration, portraying key figures like Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines as they lead enslaved people to freedom amid the French Revolution and 18th-century geopolitical conflicts. The adaptation is not a biography but a historical retelling that complements James's later book, *Black Jacobins*. A 12-page excerpt depicts escaped slaves pledging to fight for liberty, and the full graphic work is set for publication by Verso Books in October.
