An historical graphic novel inspired by the life of Harlem's legendary mobster, Stephanie Saint-Clair. Author Aurelie Levy and illustrator Elizabeth Colomba's meticulous details - in both story and art - bring Saint-Clair's story to life in a tense narrative, against a sometimes bloody backdrop of jazz and voodoo. The story tackles the themes of colonisation, corruption, police violence, and racial identity, but above all, 'Queenie' celebrates the genius of a woman forgotten by history.
