Here's an introduction to this amazing aviatrix (based on a real-life aviation pioneer) who, despite having four graphic novels currently in print, is all-but-unknown to American audiences!

Written by Yann Balac'h and illustrated by Alain Henriet, the initial graphic novel, published in 2020 in France by Dupuis, received both critical acclaim and excellent sales, resulting in a new volume in the series each year since, with the fourth (and final) chapter now available!
Though published simultaneously in print and electronic editions throughout Europe, the first two volumes are available in English only as Kindle e-books.
You'll note the series is re-titled for the English-language version, since the editors believed "Black Squaw" would be too confusing to Americans, who they believed would think it was an Old West series!
Europeans, apparently, have no problem understanding it referred to Bessie Coleman's Native American/African American heritage in a series involving an aviatrix during the Roaring '20s!
The storyline is serialized, with each volume leading directly into the next.
