From NBM:
In time for NBM Publishing’s June 2008 release of the collected
hardcover, Bluesman graphic-novel writer Rob Vollmar and Flash
animation producer Robert Butler have turned Vollmar’s story and Pablo
Callejo’s art into a short video available now on NBM Publishing’s
website and YouTube.

Bluesman plunges traveling musicians Lem and Ironwood into Deep South
juke joints of the 1920s. When Ironwood tries to stop a white man from
attacking his black mistress, all three end up dead. Lem, the sole
survivor, finds a racist posse chasing him throughout the South.
The movie rights were optioned in 2007. Attached to the film are
Grammy-winning musician Keb’ Mo’ (Suitcase) and producers Jason
Koornick (Nicolas Cage’s Next) and Lawrence Blume (whom The Hollywood
Reporter has called one of the “Ten Rising Stars of Comedy”).
Vollmar is an Eisner-nominated writer who lives in Norman.
