Jeff Smith's Dawn of Man Tour heads to Bookworks to celebrate his ongoing series, TUKI!
Set two million years ago, when multiple species of hominids existed at the same time, this hand-drawn story follows the misadventures of a small band of early humans who controlled fire in an epoch when gods and giants were real, and fire was taboo.
