Barbadian folklore meets superheroes in Hardears, an Afro-Caribbean fantasy adventure graphic novel by Matthew Clarke and Nigel Lynch that takes place in an alternative world on Jouvert Island—a magical analog of the island of Barbados.
Afterword by Cathy Thomas
A superstorm of unprecedented strength obliterates Jouvert Island, leaving it totally defenseless. With people reeling from the devastation, Mr. Hardin, the head of the Merchant Guild, charges in and promises to rebuild the economy of the island by creating jobs in his giant corporation. However, it’s soon discovered that Hardin is a parasite and is capturing people from the island and using their life essence, or vibes, to feed his factories.
Bolo, a local hero, saves his love, Zahrah, from Hardin and his cronies, but the lovers are then framed as rebels against the state. The state has been compromised by the factories, and the workers who know the truth about Hardin must go into hiding. If Bolo, Zahrah, and their allies don’t take down Hardin and the corrupt government, all will be lost. Together, they must find the strength of their island and ancestors to fight the evil forces that have taken over their homeland.
