Blackwax Boulevard is a slice-of-life comic that follows Marsalis, Hardy, and Veronika, as they strive to keep the titular record store open for business. In this graphic novel collection, Blackwax Boulevard Is Listening, our heroes also tackle the most hot-button issues of the day: racism, homophobia, #MeToo, and cancel culture.
