VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Mat Johnson (A/CA) Warren Pleece After a black writer is found dead at a scandalous interracial party in 1920s New York, Harlem's cub reporter Zane Pinchback is the only one determined to solve the murder. Zane must go 'incognegro' for the first time-using his light appearance to pass as a white man-to find the true killer, in this prequel miniseries to the critically acclaimed Vertigo graphic novel, now available in a special new 10th Anniversary Edition. With a cryptic manuscript as his only clue, and a mysterious and beautiful woman as the murder's only witness, Zane finds himself on the hunt through the dark and dangerous streets of 'roaring twenties' Harlem in search for justice. A page-turning thriller of racial divide, Incognegro: Renaissance explores segregation, secrets, and self-image as our race-bending protagonist penetrates a world where he feels stranger than ever before. Date Available: 02/07/2018
BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 A murder mystery set in high society with some of the lowest lives you'd ever hope to avoid. Zane Pinchback is a young black reporter who can pass as white. After an unexpected death at an author's book party, he's the only one who has a shot at finding out what really happened. A prequel to the classic graphic novel by Mat Johnson (Incognegro, Papa Midnite) and Warren Pleece (Incognegro, the criminally underrated Kinetic), the roaring 20's are alive in all their awfulness. The mood is right, the tone is right, the art is pitch perfect in line work and geography. Just be ready to have people saying things that make you wretch a little bit. It's the point of the thing, you see. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
