All Negro Comics Americas First Black Comic Book TP
ALL-NEGRO COMICS: AMERICA’S FIRST BLACK COMIC BOOK TP WINNER OF THE EISNER AWARD The first comic ever created by African Americans, for African Americans. In the Golden Age of Comic Books, Orrin C. Evans led a team of Black cartoonists to create the first comic book anthology of original Black characters with the expressed purpose of entertaining while rejecting harmful stereotypes and pushing boundaries in the industry. Published around the time of household names like Superman, Batman, and Captain America—even pre-dating Black Panther—All-Negro Comics #1 should be among those revered moments in comic book history, but the original print run was quickly removed from newsstands and faded into obscurity…until now. This trade paperback reissues the Eisner Award-winning out-of-print hardcover All-Negro Comics 75th Anniversary Edition. This award-winning volume includes: All-Negro Comics #1, unabridged and digitally remastered for clarity. Consistent colors, crisp text, and no damage! New comics and prose stories featuring the All-Negro Comics characters by notable Black creators of today. Essays providing historical and cultural context to deepen your reading experience. Discussion guide and resource list.
