On the eve of World War I, Eugene Bullard was one of a small but growing number of African American refugees living in France. At just eleven years old, Bullard had fled the dangers of the Jim Crow South, determined to find a place where a Black man would be treated as a human being. His search took him across the Atlantic and through a myriad of lives as a horse racer, vaudeville performer, and boxer. In 1913, he settled in Paris. In 1914, the Great War began, and Bullard made history as the first African American fighter pilot. In this candid but sensitive graphic memoir, Ronald Wimberly and Brahm Revel capture moments from Eugene Bullard' s life with remarkable empathy, from the muddy trenches to the open sky.
Ronald Wimberly is an American cartoonist, illustrator, and designer. He has published several graphic novels, as well as shorter works for The New Yorker, DC/Vertigo, Nike, Marvel, The Nib, Hill and Wang, and Dark Horse Comics. Brahm Revel is an American artist and writer best known for his creator-owned comic series GUERILLAS, published by Oni Press. He has also created comics for Marvel, Boom!, and most recently, IDW, where he helped develop the character Jennika for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle universe. This led to a nomination for a 2020 National Cartoonists Society Reuben Award for his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Jennika II. Brahm has also worked in the film and animation industries, most notably storyboarding for the animated show The Venture Bros. He currently lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.
