After nine editions serialized worldwide, rave reviews from Entertainment Weekly, the Boston Globe, and the Guardian UK, a movie deal in the works, and over 10,000 copies in print, The Bluesman Project is proud to announce that the single-volume hardcover edition is finally upon us.
This June, NBM Publishing will release this definitive edition of Bluesman into the Direct Market for only $24.95. The Diamond Order Code is APR08 4026. The graphic novel will begin its move into bookstore markets in August, allowing retailers and readers alike to benefit from this two-month window of direct market exclusivity. Bluesman is a taut period thriller that pushes the boundaries of the graphic novel while addressing core issues of race, faith, and redemption that continue to haunt public discourse to the present day.
If you are a fan of blues, comics, or (in a worst case scenario) of me, please consider doing one or more of the following things…
1. Go to the newly revamped Bluesman Project website to find out more about how to get a copy of the book for yourself.
2. Go to the Bluesman Project MySpace page and add us as a friend.
3. Share the gospel of Bluesman with as many friends as you can via your website, podcast, blog, or even drum circle.
Thanks for all of your support over the years and I hope to see you all soon at the Bluesman Project website and MySpace pages!!

I remember hearing about this and buying the first one, which was good until there was a really abrupt ending that made me go “eh?”. Am I less likely to have this problem with the collected version?

The content is the same but in the sense that instead of waiting a year to find out what happened, you’ll only have to wait a page turn, I hope so.
Thanks, ROB
