\n The black Central Park bird watcher falsely accused of \u201cthreatening\u201d a white woman has created a graphic novel about the racist encounter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a Bird\u201d by Christian Cooper follows the story of Jules, a black teenage birder who is gifted a pair of special binoculars once belonging to his grandfather. When he looks through them, he sees faces of black people killed by police, the New York Times reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 10-page digital-only graphic novel, published by DC Comics, kicks off a series<\/a> called \u201cRepresent!\u201d comprised of work from writers \u201ctraditionally underrepresented in the mainstream comic book medium,\u201d DC Executive Editor Marie Javins said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Cooper, 57, a former Marvel Comics editor, was bird watching in Central Park\u2019s Ramble on May 25 when he asked a white woman, Amy Cooper, to leash her dog. He filmed the encounter as Amy went berserk, dialing 911 and telling police \u201can African-American man with a bicycle helmet \u2026 is recording me and threatening my dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video went viral \u2014 sparking national outrage.<\/p>\n

Amy was criminally charged in July with falsely reporting an incident, but Christian said he wouldn\u2019t cooperate with prosecutors\u2019 investigation.<\/p>\n

The same day of the Central Park encounter, George Floyd would go on to die in Minneapolis after being pinned under a police officer\u2019s knee for nearly eight minutes during an arrest.<\/p>\n

Christian\u2019s ordeal with Amy is depicted in the comic book \u2014 when Jules confronts a white woman named Beth in the park with her unleashed dog and is backed by the images of black people killed by police, including Floyd, Amadou Diallo and Breonna Taylor.<\/p>\n

When Jules turns away from Beth, he sees the people with wings, flying away.<\/p>\n

Christian told the Times that his graphic novel is \u201cdrawn from a whole bunch of experiences and woven together from that \u2014 my own and the ones we keep hearing from news<\/a> reports.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWhat happ<\/a>ened to me is minor compared to the fatal consequences for George Floyd later that same day, but it all comes from the same place of racial bias. I am not trying to equate these things. What I am trying to say is: \u2018See the pattern.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Christian said when he was first approached about doing the comic based off his experience, he was dubious.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought, \u2018I don\u2019t know, DC Comics? Superheroes? Not sure how that\u2019s going to work,’\u201d he recalled in an interview with DC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe kicked around a couple of ideas. They said they had gotten the title, I\u2019m not sure exactly from who, but somebody pretty high up in the DC food chain: \u2018It\u2019s a Bird.\u2019 It took me half a beat. \u2018Oh \u2026 I get what you did there.\u2019 Once I had the title, the story wrote itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a Bird!\u201d will be available for free online beginning Wednesday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
