The Maroon Volume 1: The Cursed Shadow

Declared a threat to society, a lone Black Seminole navigates 1850 America, avoiding fierce lawmen, fiendish bounty hunters, all while contending with supernatural forces and mythical creatures as he tries to reach safe haven. But things are never so simple, and the Maroon discovers that his past may be his biggest adversary, looming with each step he makes! Collecting issues #1-6 of the award-winning series by Derek W. Lipscomb, this first volume is the perfect introduction to the world of The Maroon, in the tradition of classic American Folklore, but with a modern mature spin. It’s American Folklore remixed!! "We gave it a crack and discovered a fantastic series with genre combinations that have yet to be explored on screen. The Maroon combines Leone’s Man with No Name trilogy with the fantastic mythology of American legends and history, all while never once pulling a single punch or tomahawk throw." - Anthony Cleveland, www.viddy-well.com “No question about it. The Maroon is the best thriller. No other comic has pulled me in and had me on the edge on my seat at all times. Derek continues with each issue to add more depth, character development and world building. The artwork is consistently amazing and fantastic action set pieces. The Maroon deserves this and so much more. One day I hope to see this adapted for a series as the story is huge and ever expanding.” – Craig Johnson, (Writer/Illustrator - Project Saviour, Staff - CXCbuzz.com) "The Maroon is packed with vibrant art, with lush green environments, and emotive and sympathetic characters. The action is clearly conveyed, and each panel beautifully composed. There’s a level of detail that shows a real passion, and we found ourselves drawn into this world from the first image." - amazingtales.net Read more
