Oakland-based cartoonist Frederick Noland tells the fascinating life story of Marshall ‘Major’ Taylor.

You don’t have to be a bicycle aficionado to fall in love with Marshall “Major” Taylor. The groundbreaking Black cyclist smashed records in races around the world during competitive cycling’s — and his own — formative years at the turn of the 20th century. Taylor’s life story is lovingly rendered in a gripping new graphic biography Major Taylor: The World’s Fastest Manby Oakland-based cartoonist Frederick Noland

Noland consistently grounds Taylor’s century-old story with small, relatable details, but still manages to capture each significant event on Taylor’s journey at a compelling clip.
