Hip-Hop Family Tree Two-in-One (Free Comic Book Day 2014)

Ed Piskor and Tom Scioli team up for this one-shot from Fantagraphics, a Free Comic Book Day 2014 special that pairs two distinct hip-hop history stories. One side spotlights the rise of a seminal group, while the other offers a compact, high-energy origin tale of the genre's early days. As a sampler for Piskor's acclaimed Hip-Hop Family Tree series, it matters as a vibrant, standalone entry point into the visual chronicle of hip-hop's golden era.
