About the series
In 2007, Hyperion released a single-issue graphic biography of baseball legend Satchel Paige, Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow. The book, written by James Sturm and Rich Tommaso, uses Paige’s life and career to explore the segregated world of 1930s and 1940s baseball, focusing on how his talent challenged racial barriers. It stands as a compact, powerful example of how comics can illuminate American history and social justice through the story of one iconic athlete.
