Originally published in single magazine form as Abbott, #1-5.
just my imagination -- Do right woman -- Ball of confusion -- Makes me wanna holler -- Someday we'll be together.
While investigating police brutality and corruption in 1970s Detroit, journalist Elena Abbott uncovers supernatural forces being controlled by a secret society of the city's elite. In the uncertain social and political climate of 1972 Detroit, hard-nosed, chain-smoking tabloid reporter Elena Abbott investigates a series of grisly crimes that the police have ignored. Crimes she knows to be the work of dark occult forces. Forces that took her husband from her. Forces she has sworn to destroy. Hugo Award-nominated novelist Saladin Ahmed and artist Sami Kivelä present one woman's search for the truth that destroyed her family amidst an exploration of the systemic societal constructs that haunt our country to this day.

Mystery, Racism and the Occult. submitted by rweyler on July 14, 2021, 6:12pm A thoughtful, entertaining mixture of genres that makes for entertaining reading. Nice artwork and storytelling. Stays away from the gore that often comes with supernatural (horror?) stories. This graphic novel is definitely worth your attention.

Set in Detroit submitted by pamhockey25 on August 8, 2022, 4:59pm Set in the 1970s, Elevyn Abbitt is a newspaper reporter in Detroit. When she looks into the murder of a young man, she uncovers some strange occult evil happenings that kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next. Well written and illustrated.
