Provenance

Where it came from

Part of the 'Conversations in Comics' series published by the University Press of Mississippi, this volume focuses on the career and cultural impact of John Jennings, a prominent scholar, graphic novelist, and illustrator. The book situates Jennings within the broader context of African American speculative fiction and the evolution of the graphic novel medium, documenting his efforts to center Black narratives and challenge conventional artistic tropes.

The text serves as a scholarly retrospective, detailing Jennings' collaborative projects—most notably with Damian Duffy on the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's Kindred—and his academic contributions to the study of comics. It examines his visual style, which often draws from Afrofuturism and urban aesthetics, and was received by critics as a vital resource for understanding how contemporary creators are reshaping visual storytelling in the humanities.
