Sneak Peak: Jook Joint #1

Afronauts is happy to share with you a first look at a new comic series called "Jook Joint" courtesy of Image Comics.

It is described as "American Horror Story" meets "Law & Order SVU". Straight from the publisher: JOOK JOINT drops readers in the Deep South and introduces Mahalia, who runs the hottest spot in all of 1950s New Orleans—The Jook Joint. Here she keeps the jazz popping, people bopping… and the women? The women are to die for. There’s only one rule: “Keep your hands to yourself.” But some men think rules don’t apply to them, and Mahalia and her coven of slain women enjoy reminding them that they most certainly do......

The series is brought to us by the talents of: Tee Franklin and Alitha E. Martinez and will be released Wednesday, October 3 right in time for NYCC. If you're in the area, stop by Midtown Comics for an autograph from Tee Franklin on Wednesday from 8pm-10pm EST.

There is also a special edition cover by Mike Hawthorne and proceeds will go to the Joyful Heart Foundation which aids victims and helps teaches society about sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse.
