Big Jim and the White Boy: An American Classic Reimagined #[nn]

From Eisner Award winners David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson comes this boldly conceived reimagining of an American classic, its cover immediately drawing you in with two figures on a raft drifting across open water beneath a wide, cloud-filled sky. A tall, powerfully built man in an orange shirt stands at the front gripping a pole, his gaze fixed on the horizon, while a younger boy sits quietly at the stern — the river stretching out around them, green trees lining the distant shore. It's a striking image of an unlikely journey shared between two very different people, and the promise of "an American classic reimagined" makes this 2024 release feel both timely and essential.
