Strange Fruit

In Strange Fruit, Bamboo Édition presents a four-issue series that reimagines a classic American song as a graphic novel, blending historical fiction with social commentary. Set in the 1930s American South, the story follows a black sharecropper as he confronts the brutal realities of racism and violence, while a mysterious stranger offers him a chance at revolution. Written by Mark Waid and drawn by J.G. Jones, this series uses the metaphor of the titular song to explore themes of justice, resilience, and the power of myth. It matters for its bold, lyrical approach to a painful chapter in history, combining the talents of two celebrated creators in a compact, visually striking narrative.
