Hellraiser meets Black History.
"This mesmerizing blend of Black American folk tradition and dark
fantasy provides much food for thought, as well as edgy entertainment."
--Library Journal (starred review)
When Black graduate student Lyndsey begins her dissertation work on a
mysterious box that pops up during the most violent and troubled time in
Africana history, she has no idea that her research will lead her on a
phantasmagorical journey from West Philadelphia riots to Haitian slave
uprisings. Wherever Lyndsey finds someone who has seen the Box, chaos
ensues. Soon, even her own sanity falls into question. In the end,
Lyndsey will have to decide if she really wants to see what's inside the
Box of Bones. Described as "Tales from the Crypt Meets Black History,"
Box of Bones is a supernatural nightmare tour through some of the most
violent and horrific episodes in the African Diaspora. Ayize
Jama-Everett and John Jennings have assembled a talented group of
artists for this ten-issue project, including cover artist, Stacey
Robinson (I Am Alfonso Jones), David Brame (MediSIN), Avy
Jetter (APB: Artists against Police Brutality), and Tim Fielder
(Matty's Rocket).
