With a Little Spark Everything Can Burn

Across generations, the black thread of anarchy winds through history, binding people together beyond borders, walls, and nations. It reappears again and again, no matter how many times it has been cut, suppressed, or violently torn from the hands of those who carry it. Tracing this thread means stepping into a lineage of rebels, dreamers, and everyday people who faced exile, torture, and loss, yet still planted ideas powerful enough to bloom decades later.

This exciting new coloring book by the celebrated anarchist illustrator, N.O. Bonzo, follows that thread: the stories handed down, the victories and defeats, the sparks of hope that refuse to die. It asks what we inherit from those before us and what we ourselves will leave for those who come after. In these pages, the black thread continues its path, inviting you to join it, hold it, and weave your own colorful part of the future.

N.O. Bonzo is an anarchist illustrator, printmaker, and historian based out of Portland, OR. They are the illustrator of Mutual Aid: An Illuminated Factor of Evolution and creator of Off with Their Heads: An Antifascist Coloring Book for Adults of All Ages; Beneath the Pavement the Garden: An Anarchist Coloring Book for All Ages; and the comic The Beautiful Idea.
