"Strange Fruit, Volume I" is a collection of stories from
African American history that exemplifies success in the face of
great adversity. This unique graphic anthology offers historical
and cultural commentary on nine uncelebrated heroes whose stories
are not often found in history books. Among the stories included
are: Henry "Box" Brown, who escaped from slavery by mailing himself
to Philadelphia; Alexander Crummel and the Noyes Academy, the first
integrated school in America, established in the 1830s; Marshall
"Major" Taylor, a.k.a. the Black Cyclone, the first black champion
in any sport; and Bass Reeves, the most successful lawman in the
Old West. Written and illustrated by Joel Christian Gill, the
diverse art beautifully captures the spirit of each remarkable
individual and opens a window into an important part of American
history.

Propelled into a world filled with uncertainty and desperation,
young Joel is pushed toward using violence to solve his problems by
everything and everyone around him. But fighting doesn't always
yield the best results for a confused and sensitive kid who yearns
for a better, more fulfilling life than the one he was born into,
as Joel learns in a series of brutal conflicts that eventually lead
him to question everything he has learned about what it truly means
to fight for one's life. Fights is the visceral and deeply
affecting memoir of artist/author Joel Christian Gill, chronicling
his youth and coming of age as a Black child in a chaotic landscape
of rough city streets and foreboding backwoods.
