Invisibles

Jim Crow first appears in volume one issue 11 of The Invisibles. Jim Crow is introduced as a hip hop/trip hop artist from the United States. Issue 11 makes no mention really of the current story arc, showing that the Invisibles as a whole are on a global scale, and not just confined to King Mob, Ragged Robin, Jack Frost, Boy and Lord Fanny. Jim Crow dispatches a group of corporate big wigs who are selling a specially synthesized crack cocaine-esque product which when smoked immediately kills the user, leaving their body open and ready to be manipulated by someone from a distance. Essentially the victim is turned in to a controlable zombie.

The story is linked back to King Mob when Jim Crow confronts a large, other worldly (and seemingly Lovecraft inspired) scorpion named Baron Zaraguin. Baron Zaraguin sends a message with Jim Crow, saying that King Mob is in debt for abilities learned. The issue is ended by Jim Crow turning the corporate conspirators in to black faced zombies who in turn tear apart the CEO in a very George A. Romero fashion.

Jim Crow reappears through out the length of the series, and becomes a very integral charecter who utilizes mind and voodoo powers over his enemies.
