Summary:
Stories of
Black
artists
who drew -- mostly covertly behind the scenes -- superhero, horror, and romance comics in the early years of the industry. The life stories of each artist's personal struggles and triumphs are represented as they broke through into a world formerly occupied only by whites. Using primary source material from World War II-era
Black
newspapers and magazines, this book profiles pioneers like E.C. Stoner, a descendant of a person enslaved by George Washington, who became a renowned fine artist of the Harlem Renaissance and the first
Black
artist to draw
comic
books
; Owen Middleton, who was sentenced to life in Sing Sing; and Matt Baker, the most revered of the
Black
artists
, whose art spotlights stunning women and
men
, and who drew the first groundbreaking
Black
comic
book hero, Vooda! Includes examples of each artist's work, with full stories from mainstream
comic
books
with rare titles like All-Negro Comics and Negro Heroes, plus unpublished artist's photos.
