Incognegro: A Graphic Mystery

Mat Johnson and Warren Pleece bring a taut graphic mystery to Dark Horse in this 2018 series. Set during the Jim Crow era, it follows a black journalist who passes as white to investigate lynchings in the American South, blending historical tension with a noir-inspired plot. Johnson’s sharp, socially conscious writing and Pleece’s moody black-and-white art make this a gripping, essential look at a dark chapter through a comics lens.
