February is National Black History Month, and here at PREVIEWSworld we’re showcasing comics and graphic novels that feature black main characters, are created by African-American creators, or somehow describe the black experience in America. From historic true stories of the Civil Rights movement to pure, unadulterated heroic fiction, these are stories meant for everyone.
In honor of all that the African-American creator community does for the comics industry, we have put together a sampling of related titles below, all found in the February PREVIEWS!

DARK HORSE COMICS
(W) Sybille Titeux (A/CA) Amazing Ameziane
An original graphic novel celebrating the life of the glorious athlete who metamorphosed from Cassius Clay to become a three-time heavyweight boxing legend, activist, and provocateur: Muhammad Ali. Not only a titan in the world of sports but in the world itself, he dared to be different and to challenge and defy through his refusal to be drafted to fight in Vietnam, his rejection of his "slave" name, and ultimately his final fight with his body itself through a thirty-year battle with Parkinson's disease. Witness what made Ali different, what made him cool, what made him the Greatest.

LAURENCE KING PUBLISHING
(W) Paolo Parisi (A) Paolo Parisi
Cool, talented, and transgressive, Jean-Michel Basquiat's life is just as fascinating as the work he produced. Delve into 1980s New York as this vivid graphic novel takes you on Basquiat's journey from street-art legend SAMO to international art-scene darling, up until his sudden death. Told through cinematic scenes, this is Basquiat as seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Basquiat is a moving depiction of a troubled artist's life for those interested in both the art and the man who made it.
