The Boys comic books issue 1

1st printing. Based on the Story by Jewell Parker Rhodes. Adapted by Setor Fiadzigbey. Experience Jewell Parker Rhodes's award-winning storytelling in this tender yet visceral graphic novel adaptation of her New York Times bestselling novel, with poignant illustrations by Setor Fiadzigbey. Twelve-year-old Jerome is shot by a police officer who mistakes his toy gun for a real threat. As a ghost, he observes the devastation that is unleashed on his family and community in the wake of this unjust and brutal killing. Soon Jerome meets another ghost: Emmett Till, a boy from a very different time but similar circumstances. Emmett helps Jerome process what has happened, on a journey toward recognizing how historical racism may have led to the events that ended his life. Jerome also meets Sarah, the daughter of the police officer who shot him, as she grapples with her father's actions. Now gorgeously a graphic novel with gripping artwork from Black Panther illustrator Setor Fiadzigbey, GHOST BOYS once again deftly explores the historical and sociopolitical layers involved in how children and families face the complexities of today's world and how one boy, in particular, comes to understand American Blackness in the aftermath of his own death. Hardcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 264 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.99.

His family doesn't look like the kind on TV: his mother is dead, his father is gone, and he's being raised by his grandparents in a low-income household.
