Tresor has announced the publication of The Book Of Drexciya Vol 1, a graphic novel covering the first five chapters of the Drexciyan mythology. Authored by Detroit's lead techno visual artist and one of the mythology's original writers, Abdul Qadim Haqq, and Japanese screenwriter and musician Dai Satō, it also features art by Leo Rodrigues, Alan Oldham, Hector Rubilar, Leonardo Gondim, Daniel Oliviera and Milton Estevam.

In the legend, pregnant African women thrown off slave ships gave birth to amphibious creatures known as the Drexciyan wave jumpers: great warriors of the abyss. First noted in the inner sleevenotes of Drexciya's 1997 release The Quest, the story took on four phases: The Slave Trade (1655–1867); Migration Route Of Rural Blacks To Northern Cities (1930s–1940s); Techno Leaves Detroit, Spreads Worldwide (1988); and The Journey Home (Future).

This project comes with the full support of Drexciya's Gerald Donald and Helen Stinson, the mother of James Stinson (1969–2002).

The Book Of Drexciya Vol 1 is published on 22 May.
