    Edition: First printing.

    New York: Vertigo / DC Comics, (2009) dj. Hardcover first edition - Inspired by accounts of Walter White "passing" in the South to obtain first hand information of lynching, this is a graphic novel of a "black journalist who goes undercover in the 1930s South to investigate a possible trumped-up murder charge against his brother - a charge that could lead to a lynching. Zane Pinchback, who is so light-skinned he can pass for white, writes the Incognegro column for a Harlem newspaper, and his beat is the bloody circus of lynchings still claiming lives in horrendous numbers. Johnson's tale is a smart and fast-paced one, particularly when dealing with Pinchback's reluctance to return to Mississippi." Black and white drawings by Warren Pleece. 135 pp. ISBN: 978-1401210984.
