ANDREW AYDIN is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, a National Book Award winner, a Robert F. Kennedy Book Award Honoree, a Printz Award winner, a Sibert Medal winner, a Walter Dean Myers Award winner, a three-time Eisner award winner, and the recipient of multiple Coretta Scott King honors.
Andrew is creator and co-author of the graphic memoir series, MARCH and RUN, which chronicles the life of Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis. Co-authored with Rep. Lewis, MARCH was the first comics work to ever win the National Book Award.
In 2024, Andrew launched the Appalachia Comics Project, a nonprofit initiative dedicated to empowering underrepresented Appalachian voices through comics. In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact in the fall of 2024, ACP pairs local survivors with professional creators to document tales of survival, solidarity, and recovery. This grassroots effort not only preserves regional history but also provides income, visibility, and resources to communities still rebuilding.
