about what the world thought of him. The people Roark chose as friends and comrades all shared this basic quality - independence. His teacher, Henry Cameron, was a fiercely independent man.

Catharine Sedgwick’s Hope Leslie, Stephen Gould’s Dinosaur in a Haystack, and Sebastian Junger’s The Perfect Storm all display similar characteristics, so that though they are seemingly unrelated, they can be compared.

The comic itself is revolutionary, and such a staple of the community that it’s even become part of the curriculum for many a “Comics 101” course. Not that there’s a problem with that – because the book itself is full of amazing
