An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons and True Stories #2

"Napoleon!" is a strikingly drawn, deeply personal portrait of blues pioneer Charley Patton, rendered in the unmistakable style of Robert Crumb. This poignant biography traces Patton’s journey from his early days in the Delta to his rise as a seminal figure in the blues, all told with Crumb’s signature blend of raw detail and emotional honesty. The cover, a stark and evocative piece by William Steig, sets the tone for a story that’s as much about myth and memory as it is about music.
