This is me finally caught up on Joel Christian Gill's works. This comic biography of Bass Reeves is a great place to start learning about a fascinating and underappreciated man from history, a specialty for Gill. The story and art are quick and enjoyable, accessible for all ages.
I definitely recommend this, and everything else Gill has done. I look forward to seeing more of his work in the future.

Oh, so good. I was particularly intrigued by the use of symbols in place of text in this graphic novel. I found it profound, clever, and very beautiful.
What an amazing true story. I can't wait to read other books in this series.
14+ suggest to those who want: non-fiction, adventure stories, black history, American Wild West, biographies.
