"Magic, murder, and Mississippi mud. Blue Hand Mojo is a comic book unlike anything you've been reading. Set in 1931 Chicago where the shadow of Al Capone still looms, Half-Dead Johnson has to solve a murder with the devil on his tail. This is a book to watch."-- Justin Jordan, The Legacy of Luther Strode"Blue Hand Mojo is a delicious, riveting blend of steamy noir and conjure-man hoodoo mayhem. Utterly brilliant."--Daniel Jose Older, Shadowshaper"John Jennings has crafted a graphic novel that puts on the page what is missing from so many other comics--heart and soul."--David Walker, Power Man and Iron Fist
