LEVIATHAN FREEDOM #3 (COMIXOLOGY ORIGINALS) — Fanlight Zone

The fight for freedom has begun! Robert Smalls has seen enough . He and the fellow members of the Doldrums are considered disposable during the shadows of War. Knowing time is slipping further away, Smalls has convinced fellow shipmates to do the impossible.

LEVIATHAN FREEDOM #1 (COMIXOLOGY ORIGINALS) — Fanlight Zone

Robert Smalls is an American hero. Born into slavery, he stood up to hate and oppression in an unwavering fashion. Smalls seized control of a Confederate warship & led the passengers (including his family) to Freedom. This move impacted one Abraham Lincoln very greatly. It became the catalyst for allowing African Americans soldiers to join the Union Army during the American Civil War.
