En route to rescuing her long-lost daughter, Matilda along with Isaiah and Shorty, encounter a small group of runaway slaves. Sharing an encampment for the night, a volatile dispute erupts on who can be trusted. Will the Maroon and his friends survive unscathed?

The Maroon is an ongoing comic book series created by Derek W. Lipscomb. The story details the events of a lone nameless Black Seminole, on the run from the law for an atrocity that was pinned on him! But as he searches for sanctuary, he not only encounters fiendish men and women, but mythical figures as well as the supernatural! The Maroon is in the tradition of classic American Folklore, but with a modern mature spin. It is American Folklore remixed!
