Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection

Once upon a time, a collection of Native American writers teamed up with some of comic’s finest to create a unique and powerful anthology. Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection pays tribute to a lush legacy of Native storytelling from a wide array of tribes, respecting their traditions while pointing to their potential. The Moonshot series is written for the present, defying the static nature of most Native-American portrayals. A rich web of collaborators work to share stories old and new with a world drowning in beads-and-feather stereotypes. Along the way, the tales in these two volumes push the limits of fantasy, sci-fi, horror, history, social commentary, drama, and modern art. Not only is Moonshot an important book, it’s a truly excellent one, with jaw-dropping artwork and brilliant writing. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon it, and to leave in the world where such feats of the imagination are possible. I hope all the tasteful readers out there will end up feeling the same.
