Jancro: a brilliantly funny graphic novel inspired by the traditional Caribbean tale

'What a gwaan Mangoose?'

Deep in the Caribbean jungle live some very strange buds – the Johncrows …

Jancro is charming and funny, and will do anything for a bowl of stew. But he also needs to get a job, stay out of trouble, and somehow find his forever.

As the full moon approaches along with the annual Johncrow masked ball, how will Jancro choose?

And what secrets are they all hiding anyway?

A brilliant reworking of the traditional Caribbean tale in a theatrical graphic novel
