Bitter Root is an American comic book series, co-created by Sanford Greene, Chuck Brown and David F. Walker. Published by Image Comics, the series is set during the Harlem Renaissance and follows the Sangeryes, a family of monster hunters who attempt to cure creatures rather than killing them.[1] The series was a critical and commercial success, and the rights to the film adaptation were acquired by Legendary Pictures.[2]
