The Harlem Hellfighters

In 2014, Random House published The Harlem Hellfighters, a single-issue graphic novel by artist Caanan White that brings to life the true story of the African American 369th Infantry Regiment in World War I. This powerful, historically grounded work spotlights the courage and sacrifice of these soldiers, who fought with distinction despite facing racial discrimination at home. White's visceral artwork captures the brutal reality of the trenches and the resilience of the Hellfighters, making this a vital, respectful tribute to a long-overlooked chapter in American military history.
