Nnedi Okorafor's story of Chioma, a young Nigerian-American woman
whose destiny is revealed during a furious rainstorm-now in
paperback, with bonus content including Q&As with the creative
team and never-before-seen art and designs! After the Rain is an
adaptation of Nnedi Okorafor's short story, "On the Road." The
adaptation, written by John Jennings and illustrated by David
Brame, begins in Nigeria during a powerful and unexpected storm.
While visiting her grandmother, a young Nigerian-American woman
named Chioma answers a knock at the door and is horrified by what
she sees-a young boy with a severe head wound is standing on the
doorstep. When he touches Chioma, his hand burns like fire and just
as suddenly as he arrived, he disappears. Her grandmother comes
down to see what is wrong and chastises Chioma for opening the door
for a stranger. Outside there are only footprints in the mud which
vanish in the same manner as their owner. This event sets off a
chain of mysterious occurrences that become more and more
terrifying. Chioma knows that something is wrong, and that the boy
has "marked" her in some way. . . . Haunted and hunted, Chioma must
embrace her heritage in order to survive.
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller Winner of the 2018 Eisner
Award for Best Adaptation from Another Medium Octavia E. Butler's
bestselling literary science-fiction masterpiece, Kindred, now in
graphic novel format. More than 35 years after its release, Kindred
continues to draw in new readers with its deep exploration of the
violence and loss of humanity caused by slavery in the United
States, and its complex and lasting impact on the present day.
Adapted by celebrated academics and comics artists Damian Duffy and
John Jennings, this graphic novel powerfully renders Butler's
mysterious and moving story, which spans racial and gender divides
in the antebellum South through the 20th century. Butler's most
celebrated, critically acclaimed work tells the story of Dana, a
young black woman who is suddenly and inexplicably transported from
her home in 1970s California to the pre-Civil War South. As she
time-travels between worlds, one in which she is a free woman and
one where she is part of her own complicated familial history on a
southern plantation, she becomes frighteningly entangled in the
lives of Rufus, a conflicted white slaveholder and one of Dana's
own ancestors, and the many people who are enslaved by him. Held up
as an essential work in feminist, science-fiction, and fantasy
genres, and a cornerstone of the Afrofuturism movement, there are
over 500,000 copies of Kindred in print. The intersectionality of
race, history, and the treatment of women addressed within the
original work remain critical topics in contemporary dialogue, both
in the classroom and in the public sphere. Frightening, compelling,
and richly imagined, Kindred offers an unflinching look at our
complicated social history, transformed by the graphic novel format
into a visually stunning work for a new generation of readers.

Hellraiser meets Black history as the Box of Bones exacts revenge
throughout time and space. When Black graduate student Lyndsey
begins her dissertation work on a mysterious box that pops up
during the most violent and troubled time in Africana history, she
has no idea that her research will lead her on a phantasmagorical
journey from West Philadelphia riots to Haitian slave uprisings.
Wherever Lyndsey finds someone who has seen the Box, chaos ensues.
Soon, even her own sanity falls into question. In the end, Lyndsey
will have to decide if she really wants to see what's inside the
Box of Bones. Described as "Tales from the Crypt Meets Black
History," Box of Bones is a supernatural nightmare tour through
some of the most violent and horrific episodes in the African
Diaspora. Ayize Jama-Everett and John Jennings have assembled a
talented group of artists for this ten-issue project, including
cover artist, Stacey Robinson (I Am Alfonso Jones), David Brame
(MediSIN), Avy Jetter (APB: Artists against Police Brutality), and
Tim Fielder (Matty's Rocket).
When many think of comic books the first thing that comes to mind
are caped crusaders and spandex-wearing super-heroes. Perhaps,
inevitably, these images are of white men (and more rarely, women).
It was not until the 1970s that African American superheroes such
as Luke Cage, Blade, and others emerged. But as this exciting new
collection reveals, these superhero comics are only one small
component in a wealth of representations of black characters within
comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels over the past
century. The Blacker the Ink is the first book to explore not only
the diverse range of black characters in comics, but also the
multitude of ways that black artists, writers, and publishers have
made a mark on the industry. Organised thematically into "panels"
in tribute to sequential art published in the funny pages of
newspapers, the fifteen original essays take us on a journey that
reaches from the African American newspaper comics of the 1930s to
the Francophone graphic novels of the 2000s. Even as it
demonstrates the wide spectrum of images of African Americans in
comics and sequential art, the collection also identifies common
character types and themes running through everything from the
strip The Boondocks to the graphic novel Nat Turner.Though it does
not shy away from examining the legacy of racial stereotypes in
comics and racial biases in the industry, The Blacker the Ink also
offers inspiring stories of trailblazing African American artists
and writers. Whether you are a diehard comic book fan or a casual
reader of the funny pages, these essays will give you a new
appreciation for how black characters and creators have brought a
vibrant splash of color to the world of comics.
PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX FOR BEGINNERS is a graphic narrative project that attempts to distill the fundamental components of what scholars, activists and artists have identified as the Mass Incarceration movement in the United States. As far back as the early 1990s, activist critics of the US prison system, marked its emergence as a complex in a manner comparable to how President Eisenhower marked the Military Industrial Complex. Like its institutional cousin, the Prison Industrial Complex features a critical combination of political ideology, far-reaching federal policy and the neo-liberal directive to privatise institutions traditionally within the purview of the government.
The Prison Industrial Complex relies on the law and order ideology fomented by President Nixon and developed at least partially in response to the unrest generated through the Civil Rights Movement. It is (and has been) enhanced and emboldened via the US war on drugs, a slate of policies that by any account have failed to do anything except normalise the warehousing of nonviolent substance abusers in jails and prisons that serve more as criminal training centres then as redemptive spaces for citizens who might re-enter society successfully. Sadly, this mix of ideology, policy and privatisation has facilitated the US leading the world in the rate at which it incarcerates its own citizens.
PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX FOR BEGINNERS is a primer for how these issues emerged and how our awareness of the systems at work in mass incarceration might be the first step in reforming an institution responsible for some of our most egregious contemporary civil rights violations.

thematisieren.
