2015–2016 comic book limited series by Ed Piskor
Hip Hop Family Tree is a series of educational and historical comic books by Ed Piskor that documents the early history of hip hop culture.[1] Originating online with Boing Boing, the series was published in print form by Fantagraphics. The first collection was a 2014 New York Times Graphic Books Best Seller (#7)[2] and was listed in The Washington Post Top 10 graphic novels of 2013.[3] The second collection won the Eisner Award for Best Reality-Based Work in 2015.[4]
Piskor's artistic style in Hip Hop Family Tree—including his use of Ben-Day Dots[5]—hearkens back to the comic book styles prevalent during the period being retold.[6] Robert Crumb is openly referenced as an inspiration to Piskor,[7] who cites Crumb's "Heroes of Blues, Jazz & Country" trading cards as an influence. Crumb and Piskor are similar in their commemorations of key artists and musical figures, and the informative narration of their chosen genre's historical evolution.[8]
