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. The series was a critical and commercial success, and the rights to the film adaptation were acquired by Legendary Pictures.
A spin-off series, Bitter Root: The Next Movement, was released in 2025. This chapter of the saga is set in 1964 during the Civil Rights Movement and features a new generation of the Sangerye family.
