Abstract:Rebel fugitive John Gwin was previously introduced in Under the banner of King Death and this graphic novel continues his adventures. Revolution by fire is a hypothetical look at the inner workings of the so called "New York Conspiracy" or "Slave Rebellion" of 1741, following the figures who were considered the real-life masterminds of the plot. Featuring an eclectic crew of African-American, Irish, and mixed race Hispanic sailors, soldiers, and renegades, Gwin and his band are determined to capture New York City in their own names and fight the higher class "wigs and ruffles" wearing white people. Unfortunately for the conspirators, suspicions about an uprising were already in the minds of the Governor and his fellow elites, and the events that followed change the course of everyone's lives forever
