Black powder is an ongoing 6-issue series from Asylum Press. Written and drawn by Dwayne Harris, it tells the story of Robert Young, a former captain in the Revolutionary War, and his river journey on America's first steamboat to rescue the woman he loves from a gang of river pirates led by his cutthroat nemesis and former commander, Samuel Mason. On the way he encounters hostile Indians, swashbuckling battles, and several historical figures, all set against the backdrop of an earthquake that wrenchingly exposes the fractures of a new nation itself.
