Dig through your crates, dig through your pullbox and show us your piece of #HipHopHistory! We want to see your favorite vinyl, posters and band shirts. Upload a pic and tag it with #HipHopHistory and #Fantagraphics for a chance to win a bundle of covetable, collectible variant covers of the brand new monthly Hip Hop Family Tree #1 before it drops.
Hip Hop Family Tree is the first monthly comic in Fantagraphics’ 39-year history. The first issue traces the very beginning of hip-hop: it spotlights the breakdancers, graffiti artists, DJs, and MCs who formed hip-hop culture in the tenement rec rooms of the south Bronx in the 1970s. Readers will discover who invented the term “Hip-Hop,” and cultural pioneers like Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa will make appearances…every month!
Hip Hop Family Tree is the history of hip-hop as told through comics. Piskor can’t stop, won’t stop until the entire story is told. Painstakingly researched, Ed Piskor is delivering the most thorough account of the who, what, where, and when of the most infamous music genre the world has ever seen.
This collectible rerelease will be available exclusively through Diamond Comics Distributors and on the Fantagraphics website.
