The Bluesman Project

My absolute favorite independent comic book is finally getting the hardcover treatment by NBM. A story that is funny, sad, moving and just plain good comics, Bluesman follows the adventures of a pair of musicians pioneering the blues in the heartland of America during the birth of the blues. A book so good that you can practically hear the music as you read it, Bluesman tells a tale of music and the American experience as well.

Rob Vollmar and Pablo G. Callejo (the same team behind the critically acclaimed Castaways) have created a unique comic book in the Bluesman and it is definitely a work deserving of greater exposure. This hardcover edition will surely bring more attention to the piece and more readers to the sterling work.
