Dark Horse has announced Mat Johnson (Loving Day, Pym) and Warren Pleece’s (The Invisibles, Life Sucks) Incognegro: Renaissance hardcover collection is now available for preorder! This new collection is a perfect companion and prequel to the 10th Anniversary Edition of the 2008 Vertigo graphic novel, Incognegro: A Graphic Mystery.
Incognegro: Renaissance HC collects Incognegro: Renaissance #1–5, the full series of single-issue comics from Dark Horse. A page-turning thriller of racial divide, Incognegro: Renaissance explores segregation, secrets, and self-image as our race-bending protagonist penetrates a world where he feels stranger than ever before.
When a black writer is found dead at a scandalous interracial party in 1920’s New York, Harlem’s cub reporter Zane Pinchback is the only one determined to solve the murder. Zane must go “incognegro” for the first time, using his light appearance to pass as a white man to find the true killer. This is a prequel miniseries to the critically-acclaimed Vertigo graphic novel, Incognegro: A Graphic Mystery, available now from the Berger Books imprint at Dark Horse in a special 10th Anniversary Edition.
With a cryptic manuscript as his only clue and a mysterious and beautiful woman as the murder’s only witness, Zane finds himself on the hunt through the dark and dangerous streets of “roaring twenties” Harlem in search for justice. In a time when looks could kill, Zane’s skin is the only thing keeping him alive.
Incognegro: Renaissance HC goes on sale October 3, 2018, and is available for preorder at your local comic shop. This 128-page hardcover retails for $19.99.
