I didn’t know I needed a graphic novel about witches who engage in illegal broom-racing, but now that I know about it, I’m so on board.
Courtesy of publisher Levine Querido, we’re pleased to present an exclusive preview of Brooms, the upcoming graphic novel by writer Jasmine Walls (Vixen NYC, The Last Session) and artist Teo DuVall (Deja Brew, The Bridge). They’re joined by colorist Bex Glendining and letterer Ariana Maher.
The story focuses on a group of witches/broom racers in 1930s Mississippi who are trying to move out West, a place “that allows Black folks to legally use magic and take part in national races.” Their team, the Night Storms, must endure government oppression and societal prejudice as they attempt to raise enough money to follow their dreams.
Brooms will be published on Oct. 10. Check out the preview and more details from the publisher below.
