Raves and Reviews
"Mixing facts real and imaginative, this album pays tribute to the fight of African Americans against racism."
– Le Monde
"In the excellently told Black Cotton Star, we follow four Black soldiers on a mission to uncover a long-hidden secret. An intriguing story that unflinchingly entails the racism of the time and how sometimes the best mysteries are found where you least expected."
– Graphic Policy
"As a kid, I dug Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos and Sgt. Rock and Easy Company comics. Unlike the actual Jim Crow WWII-era Army, there was one black soldier in each of those squads, though as minor characters. Black Cotton Star, set in the Big One, gets us brothers front and center in a rollicking story that delivers on the thrills with plenty of heart."
– Gary Phillips, writer of "The Be-Bop Barbarians"
"Poignant. This epic enterprise lends due weight to the hopes and disappointments of its African-American protagonists . . . a notable war comic for modern readers."
– Publishers Weekly
