Praise
“Big Jim and the White Boy is a brilliant remix of history, politics, satire, and passion filtered through the comics medium by two masters of storytelling. David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson have done it again with this instant classic!”—John Jennings, Hugo Award–winning comics creator
“What these brothers have created is fire! David F. Walker has given Jim a voice beyond the superstitious, passive slave and Marcus Kwame Anderson has made him real and not a cultural cliche. This book, beautifully illustrated and superbly written, expands an American classic by adding rich and important cultural nuances.”—Joel Christian Gill, author of Fights and chair of the MFA in Visual Narrative at Boston University
“David F. Walker is one of the most imaginative and bold storytellers out there, and Marcus Kwame Anderson’s beautiful art is the perfect complement for the retelling of this most important American story.”—Erika Alexander, cocreator and writer of Concrete Park
“Big Jim and the White Boy is simultaneously a page turner and a thoughtful exploration. Its twists and turns are worthy of a classic mystery novel, while its deep engagement with the role of storytelling in preserving and transmitting lost histories challenges readers’ assumptions about the nature of ancestry and memory. The beautifully drawn pages prompt us and give us the space to see enslaved Black people, their families, and their communities in all their humanity, complexity, and strength.”—Ajuan Mance, author of Gender Studies and Living While Black
