Topic: Bluesman - Graphic Novel
When I was reseraching blues last year, I found a graphic novel about a bluesman. I'm posting a link here:

I just ordered my copy from amazon.com They have a hardcover that has all volumes 1-3 for $8 new.
REVIEWS:
"The gravity and depth of the graphics conjure that blend of naturalism and surrealism that distinguishes the art of Thomas Hart Benton. Taking cues from American masters like him and Rockwell Kent, Vollmar and Callejo turn mayhem into melody here." -Boston Globe
"Combined with the undying cool of blues, this powerful storytelling yields an irresistible tale of life amidst poverty."
-Voice of Youth Advocates
"An exceptional evocation of a time and place where racism was
pervasive but music was beginning to transmute suffering into art." -Library Journal
"Carefully, convincingly written by Vollmar and gorgeously drawn by Callejo. Altogether ravishing." -Booklist
"There's enough suspense and atmosphere here to make anyone grip their chair and feel transported. The plot is full of unexpected twists as well as kindness among the outcasts. Lem and Ironwood only have each other. And they make the most of it." -Los Angeles Times
"Writer Rob Vollmar imagines a place rich in meaning and menace; Pablo G. Callejo's expressive B&W images give it vibrancy."
-Entertainment Weekly
"Meticulous, well-thought out stuff." -Moviepoopshoot.com
