Cumbe

Marcelo D'Salete's Cumbe is a stark, powerful graphic novel from Bahoe Books, first published in 2017. Set in colonial Brazil, it follows the story of an escaped enslaved man fighting for his freedom, rendered in D'Salete's distinctive, expressive black-and-white art. The work is a crucial addition to the canon of historical comics, offering a visceral and unflinching look at resistance and survival.
