Description
When St. Ivory Academy, a historically white wizarding school, opens its doors to its first-ever black student, everyone believes that the wizarding community is finally taking its first crucial steps toward inclusivity. Or is it? When Tom Token, the beneficiary of the school's "Magical Minority Initiative," begins uncovering weird clues and receiving creepy texts on his phone, he and his friend, Lindsay, stumble into a conspiracy that dates all the way back to the American Civil War, and could cost Tom his very soul.
Advance Praise
"BLACK MAGE is a continuous delight from start to finish. Taking elements familiar from pop culture and history, in both the visuals and script, Barnes and Kirkland magic up something new, relevant, and important." - Adam P. Knave (Eisner and Harvey Award winner)
Marketing Plan
EXPLORES RACISM IN A FANTASY SETTING - There’s much more than meets the eye going on when a famously white wizarding school finally invites in its first black student under a special “Magical Minority Initiative.”
HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY ANIME, MANGA & VIDEO GAMES - The art style is very reminiscent of Final Fantasy and Sailor Moon.
