The Most Important Thing Right Now!
The Postgame
After the election. After the insurrection. After the refreshingly quiet transferral of power. After everything but the pandemic. Time marches on, and so must we.
That's why there are three product releases for the first part of 2021 featuring Hannibal Tabu writing ...
NOIR IS THE NEW BLACK (Fair Square Comics)
Indie superstar Fabrice Saposlky (Spider-Man Noir, editor at Humanoids Publishing) joins with TC Harris to assemble a murderer's row of all Black creative teams writing noir stories. From the far future to the New Jack Swing era in Chicago to moments history might prefer we forget, this anthology takes a host of amazing voices (Brandon Thomas, Gary Phillips, Quinn McGowan, Greg Burnham, MD Marie, N. Steve Harris and yes, Hannibal Tabu) and lets them loose on the noir genre.
An anthology graphic novel releasing February 2021
CYBERFUNK (MV Media)
Black owned publisher MV Media has likewise assembled a stellar cast of all Black writers to do a prose anthology of cyberpunk stories. Hannibal presents a prequel to the story told in Noir is the New Black, featuring the same character earlier that day.
A prose anthology available in February 2021
MPLS SOUND (Humanoids Publishing)
Co-written by Joe Illidge (Heavy Metal, A Wave New World, Lion Forge, Valiant, Milestone), this original graphic novel takes place in Minneapolis during the emergence of Prince as one of the world' most distinctive musical voices. The question is, what happened to people who got caught up in his wake?
An original graphic novel available April 2021

Yeah. That's just the first third of the year. I'm busy cooking up more, including the next installment of Project Wildfire, plus I still have a whole lot of issues of Time Corps that haven't been drawn yet (I literally turned in the scripts years ago), so those will come your way soon.
Given the hundreds of thousands of people dead in the United States alone, it's hard to be cheery about something happening, but a lot of this work was done before the pandemic and we have to keep living while we're here.
I'm wearing my mask, I'm staying at home as much as possible, I'm writing up a storm and I'm getting the vaccine when I can. I hope we can all do the same. I hope to see you all at conventions in .... 2022 maybe?
