CHAPTER ZERO

More Than
a Comic

Paris, 1925. A young woman from St. Louis steps onto a stage and the world changes its mind about her. But behind the spotlight lives a second story of resistance fighters, coded letters, and a heart that refused to belong to any single nation.

B-Side Comics brings that hidden record to light. A graphic novel that honors history without softening it, illustrated with the rhythm of jazz and the urgency of revolution.
