Black #[nn]

The cover of this Soaring Penguin Press release makes an immediate, powerful statement: a young Black boy stares directly at the viewer, his expression quietly resolute, set against a stark Union Jack rendered in black, white, and red. The deliberate tension between subject and flag gives the image a charged, thought-provoking quality that draws you in before you've read a single word. By Tobias Taitt and Anthony Smith, Black arrives in 2022 as a comic that clearly has something urgent and human to say.
