Fun Study of Paul Harris 
The first graphic novel dedicated to the youth of Rotary's Founder

Chicago, February 23, 1905


Paul Harris tells the story of his life to Silvestre Schiele, Gustav Loehr and Hiram Shorey: thus was born Rotary and began the fascinating journey spreading its ideal all over the world.

This graphic novel is a tribute to the youth of Paul Harris, an extraordinary example to show how a great idea can arise from the simple need to share and communicate.

Paul Harris isn’t a fearless “hero”: he is a strong young man whose determination has been the key to create a world-wide association based on a simple but significant intention: friendship and service above self

A must-have collectible graphic novel for every Rotarian, and a very expressive medium for spreading Rotary’s values.
