Born in the South during the height of segregation, James Brown went on to become a global sensation, using his immeasurable talent to grasp what he believed was the American Dream.

Join the charismatic, hard-working, and sometimes tyrannical bandleader on a journey down the roads of America with a group of talented musicians spreading the sound of funk and soul throughout the country. Told against the backdrop of a changing America during the Civil Rights era of the 1960s, this is the story of a man and his band that would go on to revolutionize the world of pop music.

Bullet points:
• Xavier Fauthoux was the winner of the James Brown Music Video Challenge in 2012.
• The Godfather of Soul, Mr. Dynamite, The Hardest Working Man in Show Business—a legend of popular music whose influence and appeal reaches audiences to this day—gets the graphic novel treatment.
