Publisher's Synopsis

Luther Joyce, a middle-aged African-American at a New Jersey nuclear power plant is trapped during a core flare up. He survives and drags his horribly disfigured body to a brain surgeon in the hope of securing an operation. The same surgeon is also visited by Louella Schwartz, a radical-left winger teenager intent on assassinating him. Their paths cross so do the bodies and nothing is ever the same again. WHITE LIKE SHE delves into controversial topics like race, political correctness, gender roles painting an uneasy satirical portrait of life in the 90's.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
