Bluesman

A three-part graphic novel series from French publisher Éditions Sarbacane, Bluesman (2020–present) follows a young African-American musician navigating the segregated Deep South of the 1930s, with the blues as both his art and his lifeline. Created by writer and artist Rob Vollmar (who also draws the series), it is a lyrical, historically grounded work that explores the roots of American music through a fictional story of struggle and resilience. The series stands out for its atmospheric, watercolor-style art and its quiet, character-driven approach to a pivotal era in cultural history.
