Contrast: Blackness In White:

by Jiba Anderson, Jiba Anderson (Illustrator)

Overview

Griot Enterprises returns to the format that put the company on the map with four stories from the company's past, present and future.

With this one-shot, we're going back to the beginning while moving forward. We've got The Song of Lionogo: An Indian Ocean Mythological Remix, a fantasy tale that was created for the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art. Next up is an unused tale of social justice featuring characters from the sci-fi, Kung-Fu epic Outworld. You'll learn the secret origin of the New Mythology in a all-new Horsemen tale. Finally, we will witness the beginning of The New Mythology in The Consonance, the heroes of legend that pre-date The Horsemen themselves and more in this 48-page spectacular!
