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'. After Zane Pinchback, a reporter for the New York-based "New Holland Herald", barely escapes with his life after his latest 'incognegro' assignment goes wrong, he returns to Harlem - only to discover that his new assignment is to report on the arrest of his own brother, charged with the brutal murder of a white woman in Mississippi...Author Mat Johnston (Hunting in Harlem) is joined by artist Warren Pleece ("Hellblazer") to tell this gripping, disturbing story of race in America.

Recensioner i media

"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"
