The Boondocks, while spanning everything from African American newspaper comics of the 1930s to Francophone graphic novels of the 2000s.
The Blacker the Ink also offers inspiring stories of trailblazing African American artists and writers. These essays will give you a new appreciation for how black characters and creators have brought a vibrant splash of color to the world of comics.
