Incognegro: Renaissance

Set against the backdrop of the Harlem Renaissance, this 2018 Dark Horse series from writer Mat Johnson and artist Warren Pleece continues the story of a light-skinned African-American reporter who passes as white to investigate lynchings. With a five-issue run, the narrative explores the dangerous intersections of race, identity, and justice in 1920s New York. Pleece’s moody, expressive art grounds Johnson’s sharp, historically rich script, making this a vital companion to the original Incognegro.
