Swamp Creatures and Jim Crow: Comics Excerpt From Bayou
At first, Bayou seems like an old, familiar tale. Two young girls, one white, one black, are friends in the Jim Crow South. But then, Lily betrays her friend. And then Lee sees her father locked up. And then Lee follows Lily out to the bayou ... and we definitely didn't believe what happened next.
Spooky, weird, and audacious, Bayou is a webcomic series by writer and artist Jeremy Love. Volume one has just been published in book form by Zuda Comics/DC, and it's a clever and entertaining fable that will surprise you with its dirty magic, like an Angela Carter story transplanted to the Deep South. Vulture is pleased to present eight pages from Bayou.
