Aprašymas

A thrilling graphic novel reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that follows Jim, an enslaved man on a journey towards freedom, and his sidekick, Huck, in the antebellum South.

Commonly regarded as one of the great American novels, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has captured the hearts and imaginations of readers since 1885. But since its publication, readers and critics have rightfully condemned Mark Twain's troubling portrayal of Black Americans as stereotypes and caricatures, with contemporary fans searching for a modern update to this classic tale.

Big Jim and the White Boy is a reimagining of this American classic, centering the experiences of Jim, an enslaved Black man in search of his kidnapped wife and children, along with his cheeky sidekick, Huckleberry Finn. Heartfelt and deeply moving, the story takes readers on a journey through Jim and Huck's past, present, and future, delving into their incredible friendship and years of adventures--a bond that transcends the gruesome racism of the Antebellum South.

With compelling artwork and riveting storytelling from the team behind the Eisner award-winning The Black Panther Party, David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson push the boundaries of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, exploring the triumphs and tribulations of Jim and his family.
