BLUESMAN, vol.2
Rob VOLLMAR & Pablo CALLEJO
Reeling from the tragedy that engulfed him at the end of Book One, traveling bluesman musician Lem flees the scene of the crime even as he copes with his loss of his best friend and musician partner. Unfortunately for him, the powers-that-be aren't about to let the murder of a white bootlegger's son go without extracting a pound of flesh from someone. Can Lem escape before his pursuers discover his involvement? This thriller, set in the early days of the blues, follows the life of traveling musicians who would roam from one juke joint to another in the South.

BLUESMAN, Vol.1
Rob VOLLMAR & Pablo CALLEJO
This story, structured like a traditional twelve bar blues song, with three sections each made of four chapters, follows blues musician Lem Taylor's harrowing journey across Arkansas of the late twenties, hunted for a crime he didn't commit. In volume one, he and his blues companion find a gig in a 'juke' outside a small town. Their music takes it by storm leading even to a well connected man offering a recording session. However, that night, they accept the invitation of two ladies to go home with them, a fatal mistake, as one of the ladies' lover, a white man who happens to belong to a powerful bootlegging family, shows up unexpectedly. The result is a triple murder with only Lem and his lady friend left standing. Formerly from Absence of Ink Comic Press, now exclusively from NBM.
7x10, 80pp., B&W, color cover, trade pb., $6.95, ISBN 0-9742468-3-2;
