Description
Book SynopsisTurning the traditional Western on its head,
Memorial Ride recasts the genre as a road movie. It's raucous, it's violent, and, scarily enough, it might even be true. This graphic novel delivers the storytelling prowess of Stephen Graham Jones through Maria Wolf's artwork, and the result is a ride you'll want to take again and again.
Trade Review'Hello, America.' The inimitable vision of Stephen Graham Jones rivets an '80s aesthetic to a rat rod of a revenge story for the new millennium." - Theodore C. Van Alst Jr., author of
Sacred Smokes"In
Memorial Ride, Stephen Graham Jones straps us into the 'rat-chewed' back seat of a '68 Mustang and dares us to take a thrill-filled, grind-house joyride of cinematic proportions across the Southwest. Masterfully layering the American Western, Manifest Destiny, and the myth of the American Indian into graphic literature, Stephen Graham Jones rattles our understanding of what it's like to be a Native American today in the United States with a never-before-seen literary Panavision and in Technicolor. Hop on in the back seat with us. You chicken? Be warned: in this story, John Wayne might just not win." - Ito Romo, author of
