JOHN HENRY STEAM AGE PREVIEW BOOK

Description

"John Henry, a former slave, wasn't about to let some new-fangled steam hammer replace his ability to earn an honest wage as a steel driving man. He'd beat that machine, or die with his hammer in his hand. We all know the outcome of that legendary contest. In this alternate history, however, John doesn't die in his heroic effort, but instead slips into a coma, only to awaken to his worst nightmare. A robotic uprising has occurred, and a new age has dawned - the Steam Age. Now the only thing that can free the human race from the very machines they've created is John and his hammer! John Henry: The Steam Age is an exciting re-imagining of the story of John Henry in a steampunk setting, and this preview will introduce readers to the exciting graphic novel coming this fall."
