This book began as a series of eight comics distributed free by the Nelson Mandela Foundation in partnership with comic publisher Umlando Wezithombe between 2005 and 2007. The series was a project of the Foundation's Centre of Memory and Dialogue and was aimed at reaching young South Africans with the story of the life and times of Nelson Mandela in accessible form. The series drew on a wide range of published work but also made use of previously unused archival material as well as formal and informal interviews with individuals who appear as characters in the story.
