Incognegro by Mat Johnson
In the early 20th century, when lynchings were commonplace in the American South, a few courageous reporters - light-skinned African-Americans - risked their lives to expose the truth. They called their undercover work 'going incognegro'.
"Incognegro proudly exemplifies the graphic novel" - New York Times "...manages to juggle humor and optimism with action, suspense and weighty themes... certainly comes with the highest recommendation." - AintltCool.com "...reflects the growing diversity and maturity of the graphic novel." - SFGate.com "A treat for the eyes, a marvel of illustration arranged in the service of narrative." - The Austin Chronicle "...smart and fast-paced... Johnson and Pleece give a cracking Chester Himes kick to what could have been a sub-Walter Mosley imitation" - Publisher's Weekly"
Mat Johnson is an author and teacher. Following his acclaimed first novel, Drop, Johnson wrote the award-winning Hunting in Harlem and the non-fiction The Great Negro Plot. His other comics work to date is Titan's Hellblazer: Papa Midnite. Warren Pleece first found comics fame illustrating Second City Blues for 2000AD, but it was True Faith, with author Garth Ennis, that truly made his name.
