Description
1931. Bronzeville. Chicago. The mage, Frank "Half Dead" Johnson, is a marked man. Literally. A drunken decision fueled by tragedy has left him with half a soul, sorcerous powers, and two centuries to work off his debt to Scratch (aka The Devil) himself. This graphic novel chronicles three adventures with this tragic conjure man. Watch as "Half Dead" attempts to save his own soul, pay his debt, and help as many people as he can along the way. It's a hard-hitting Hoodoo Noir highball with just a splash of Southern Gothic. Smack-dab in the dark heart of the Windy City. Hold on tight! It's going to be a bumpy ride down Hard Times Road.

Reviews
"Magic, murder, and Mississippi mud. Blue Hand Mojo is a comic book unlike anything you've been reading. Set in 1931 Chicago where the shadow of Al Capone still looms, Half-Dead Johnson has to solve a murder with the devil on his tail. This is a book to watch."-- Justin Jordan, The Legacy of Luther Strode
