Fascinating look at the history of African-American characters in @Marvel Comics #blackhistorymonth
At times the article a little too self-congratulatory, but it is still an enlightening look into the history of African and African-American characters in what is essentially one of the most American art-forms, comics. I would love to see a little more theory introduced, or at the least, a discussion of how these characters either complied with or challenged the prevailing thoughts of the time surrounding the Black Aesthetic and/or Black Arts Movement, but I'll take what I can get until someone either writes that article or until I have some spare time to do it...
