Years in the making, this is the true story of writer Peter Calloway's
grandfather, Nathaniel Calloway, a Black man who graduated from medical
school in the early 1930s. Unable to get work at any Chicago hospital
(because he was Black) and unable to secure a loan from a bank to start
his own practice (because he was Black), Nathaniel turned to the only
other source of money in Prohibition-era Chicago: the Mafia, run by none
other than Al Capone.
One of the most profoundly fascinating, startling and significant
stories AfterShock has ever published, SHADOW DOCTOR features the
artwork of Eisner Award-winner Georges Jeanty (The American Way,
X-Tremists) with a cover illustrated by comics legend Mark Chiarello!
