About the series
In 2008, DC published Incognegro, a single-issue graphic novel by writer Mat Johnson and artist Warren Pleece. It follows a light-skinned Black journalist in the 1930s who passes as white to investigate lynchings in the American South, blending historical crime drama with a tense, personal narrative. The story stands as a sharp, self-contained exploration of race and identity, notable for its unflinching look at a dark chapter in American history.
