by Olly MacNamee

Multiple Eisner Award-winning series Bitter Root by David F. Walker, Chuck Brown, and Sanford Greene returns this March with a new story arc and a new number one. Bitter Root: The Next Movement will be a five-issue series from Image Comics and this time the action takes place in the ’60s, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. Here’s the series synopsis to accompany the main cover:

“In Bitter Root: The Next Movement, a lie built a House of Oppression. The bitter truth will burn it down. It is 1964, the height of the Civil Rights Movement. A group of activists have gone missing, and a new generation of the Sangerye family must face a menace far worse than anything their ancestors ever encountered. The monstrous jinoo—creatures born out of hate and racism—have evolved into a threat that few people are willing to acknowledge, and even fewer know how to fight.”

  • Cover A by Greene
  • Cover B wraparound by Tradd Moore
  • Cover C 1:25 copy incentive raw wraparound art by Moore
