Love in vain

In 2015, Sherpa Comics published a single, self-contained graphic novel, Love in Vain, a starkly poetic biography of blues legend Robert Johnson. Masterfully rendered by French artist Mezzo, the book distills Johnson's mythic life and tragic pact with the devil into a series of haunting, wordless images. It stands as a powerful, atmospheric meditation on the crossroads of art and damnation, earning its place as a distinctive work of graphic nonfiction.
