"When I think about Greg Burnham's
work, the first word that comes to my mind is 'substance'. After
Tuskegee Heirs and Little Rock Files, Greg delves back
into black historical fiction in this inspired story of very special
13-year-old named Sadiqah."

--Fabrice Sapolsky, comic book
creator, publisher of FairSquare Graphics

"Sadiqah is something truly rare.
Part history and part folklore, it captures the spirit of things
like The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of
Prydain, building a fun new mythology out of the sometimes hard to
understand realities of history. It's beautiful and exciting and
deserves to be your next obsession."

--Jeremy Whitley, author of Princeless
and School for Extraterrestrial Girls

"With a seemingly genetic
predisposition to fight for those who can't fight for themselves,
Sadiqah makes an action-packed debut worthy of classic martial arts
cinema. The Search for Sadiqah recalls those kung fu costume dramas
full of wayward students, wizened masters, and hidden secrets with a
refreshingly Black American twist. This is not just a pastiche of
genre, but an expert blend of Eastern motifs and American folklore,
and I can't wait to read more!"

--Jamie Noguchi, artist of School for
Extraterrestrial Girls

"Getting caught up in Greg Burnham's
masterfully fast-paced compelling storytelling reminds me of my
childhood in the Bronx where my Saturdays were filled with Bruce Lee
flicks (and kicks) and Clint Eastwood-Sergio Leone spaghetti Westerns
at the Deluxe Theater. That The Search for Sadiqah is
centered around a highly intelligent 13-year-old Black girl with
special powers and serious martial arts training, having survived the
Red Summer and the Black Wall Street Massacre, and is out for
revenge, is an extra layer of depth and dopeness that elevates one's
reading pleasure. The artwork herein is so cinematic and thrilling
that there are times dialogue would be superfluous there's so much
emotionality and suspense. In this graphic novel extravaganza, we are
treated to history, fantasy, action, and a sort of Afrofuturist eye
view of what has been imbued in Africanist folklore such as Virginia
Hamilton's where the people can fly. Sadiqah certainly
can as she beats dat Klan butt with her bo staff for she is the one
with all the gifts. And The Search for Sadiqah is one such
gift for the ages."
