In the early 20th Century, when lynchings were commonplace throughout the American South, a few courageous reporters from the North risked their lives to expose these atrocities. They were African-American men who, due to their light skin color, could pass among the white folks. They called this dangerous assignment going incognegro.

Zane Pinchback, a reporter for the New York-based New Holland Herald, is sent to investigate the arrest of his own brother, charged with the brutal murder of a white woman in Mississippi. With a lynch mob already swarming, Zane must stay incognegro long enough to uncover the truth behind the murder in order to save his brother -- and himself. Suspenseful, unsettling and relevant, Incognegro is a tense graphic novel of shifting identities, forbidden passions, and secrets that run far deeper than skin color.

Primeira leitura favoritada de 2023, que HQ maravilhosa, traz um tema pesado, e apesar de não se passar nos dias de hoje, o roteiro soa bastante atual (infelizmente), pois diariamente lidamos com o racismo que está presente na sociedade. Os desenhos são super limpos, trazem uma classe para o gibi e complementa muito bem o roteiro.
