Ginseng Roots #8 is an issue of the Ginseng Roots series from Uncivilized, released February 10, 2021. Written by Craig Thompson with artwork by Craig Thompson. This page represents the regular first-print Cover A edition.
A young Hmong boy sacrifices his childhood, his education, and his future dreams to help out in the family ginseng gardens. His father is torn between the traditional Hmong customs, shamanism, and his role as a Christian pastor in America. Spring brings unexpected death and mourning, but in fall the harvest must begin again. As markets change, a new generation struggles to continue the ginseng legacy. Profits have shifted to the retail side at the expense of the farmer's hard labor. Another harvest cycle unearths ghosts in the soil, both ancestral and chemical.
