Bluesman

Set in the 1920s Deep South, this NBM graphic novel series from writer Rob Vollmar and artist Pablo Callejo follows a young Black blues musician navigating the segregated world of juke joints and rural highways. Blending a coming-of-age story with the rich history of Delta blues, the series explores themes of ambition, racism, and the transformative power of music through Callejo's expressive, moody artwork. With only a single issue so far, it stands as a promising, intimate historical drama that captures a pivotal era in American culture.
