Bayou, Jeremy Love
A graphic novel with a young black female heroine.Bayou laces black history with magical realism in a deliberate, purposeful fashion. The characters are heart felt and complex. The plot bends in unsuspected yet fulfilling ways. The graphics are astonishing; A subtle compliment to an overwhelming history.
I wanted to enter the comic book world, but I wanted to find the comic space that still catered to my interests. I didn’t think that would be possible, but Bayou was exactly what I was looking for. Now I’m on a search for similar works. I would love to see different forms of historical fiction represented in graphic novels. Anyway, I hope this inspires someone in their graphic novels journeys.
profound.
one of my ultimate FAVORITES
I’m on a mission to find this and read this in the next couple of days. I’ve never heard of it. It looks amazing.
