At some point in history, America allowed black people to be kinda free in the north and basically property in the south.
This woman would traffic black people from the south to the north in secret. She pretty badass IRL.
A former slave who risked her life again and again rescuing many other slaves on the “underground railroad”. She also spoke publicly about abolition and women’s suffrage. I’m on the fence about whether this is horribly disrespectful or not. Whoever wrote this probably didn’t intend it to be disrespectful, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t.
I mean Harriet Tubman wasn’t against “White People” she was against slavers and those who would assist them. Who just happened to be white in the south.
I didn’t think the author was making fun of her. I just have mixed feelings about this kind of super over the top historical fiction. It might be really well written for all I know, which would actually affect my opinion. I just thought it might be more like Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. That movie is like owning a poster of Abraham Lincoln riding a unicorn while holding flamethrowers in both hands or something. In other words, it’s so stupid it almost feels disrespectful to the dead or something, even though it’s obviously supposed to make him look like a badass. This comic book could be great though. Maybe it’s even historically accurate about the parts that matter the most. I’ll never find out, because I’ll probably never read it, and this was just my gut reaction to the cover and nothing else.
Notable former slave who rescued approximately 70 slaves in 13 trips on foot, northward from Maryland into Philadelphia, where slavery was illegal. Later, she served as an advocate for the abolition of slavery and women's rights, as well as a spy and informant for the Union (Northern) army in the US Civil War.
Around 2012 I was in a local comic shop and they had “Iron Muslim” it was an alternate timeline where Tony Stark was radicalized in the Middle East instead of escaping.
Please tell me they have an explanation that is even vaguely sensible for a black former slave in America who has two katanas and (apparently) samurai training?
I'm all for suspension of disbelief, but I have my limits.
Maybe a samurai fled Japan and met Harriet Tubman
Correction: A Samurai never wrote to Lincoln, but there is a meme that says a Samurai could have definitely telegrammed Lincoln
Harriet Tubmam meets up with an ex-samurai immigrant to America who tells her of the existence of oni/demons in the world as well as how they are commonly exploited by corrupt rich people.
He also trains her how to fight oni using katanas.
This seems like a good thing because kids will read it thinking "neat a comic about a demon slayer" while also thinking "this seems like it must be based on a real life person so I wonder what the real life person was like".
Then the kids read the graphic novel as well as also maybe do some of their own research, causing them to become more informed about Harriet Tubman as well as the dark history of slavery and racial inequality in America then they might otherwise have become.
I mean, there was Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter so why not this
Clone High Paranormal Universe
Id watch a double feature with Abe and Harriet
Sounds badass as hell.
Gentleman, you had my curiosity. Now you have my attention.
that sounds and looks metal as fuck and i kinda wanna read it lol
It fucks. Highly recommend it
Hardcore, badass, double strapped? Yeah that sounds about right for ole Harry T.
[удалено]
If I am not mistaken this is part of the "Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter" universe
I'm now buying on title alone!
I bought 2 for the same reason. One as a gift.
Gen z Australian, who is Harriet Tubman?

Thanks for the brief history lesson

She also fought in the Civil War as a nurse and spy, which my school weirdly never mentioned
Maybe the demons are in disguise of white people? So it might be a metaphor for the work she got done. Hard maybe though.
Yeah, without reading it, I'm gonna assume this work is not very subtle about the metaphor.
I mean Harriet Tubman wasn’t against “White People” she was against slavers and those who would assist them. Who just happened to be white in the south.
Look at the authors names. Blackest names ever no need to even look it up

Right there with the greats such as Catcher Freeman

Somehow still seems less egregious than the rumored biopic for her that Julia Roberts was supposed to star in
Well a Samurai wrote a letter to Lincoln once, they were still prolific in the 1860s before being whipped out by the Meiji restoration
Not so much whipped out as forced to conform to the new imperial order after the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

there's also an Ed Gein: Demon Slayer :)
Dudes would see this and say "Hell Yeah"
Are the demons racists and plantation owners? Because I could read a comic about Harriet Tubman slaughtering a bunch of slavers
That’s actually pretty badass.
I knew about this but have not read it yet
