Enter The Blue HC

Enter The Blue HC collects the sweeping, jazz-soaked graphic novel from writer-artist Dave Chisholm. The story follows Jessie Choi, a guitarist seeking artistic courage, who is drawn back into the city’s improvisational underworld when her mentor Jimmy Hightower collapses at a gig. As Jessie tracks a mystery behind Jimmy’s coma, every thread leads into The Blue, a rumored crossroads of jazz history where ghosts of the past rise for those bold enough to listen. Through interviews with legendary figures and intimate scenes at smoky clubs, Chisholm blends music, memory, and myth to ask how we find our truest selves when the stage lights dim. This hardcover edition showcases Chisholm’s writing, pencil work, and cover art, weaving a powerful meditation on mentorship, resilience, and the music that shapes us.
