Enter the Janna: ‘Paperback hero Saga’ Launch Event

In 2018, local rapper/actor/author Mason Parker wrote and released his first comic book, ‘The Paperback Hero Saga,’ accompanied by a short film starring Malcolm-Jamal Warner of ‘The Cosby Show’ and scored by local spoken-word poet Bluz. However, after returning to Charlotte and finding a new distribution deal for the book, Parker pulled the original from shelves and began reworking the story into what’s now become a longform graphic novel rooted in hip-hop and comic book fantasy.
