review:
'Encyclopedia of Black Comics' by Sheena C. Howard is an A to Z look at people of African descent who have had a hand in creating and discussing comics and comic strips.
I knew about famous contributors like Morrie Turner and Christopher Priest. I'm a fan of Joel Christian Gill's work in Strange Fruit and Tales of the Tenth. I was less familiar with some of the pioneers like Sam Milai. I confess to being surprised that George Herriman was an African American. Along with these there are founders of comic book conventions, scholars of sequential art, webcomic artists and so many more.
Throughout the book are some examples of artwork. Each entry is a page or so. It's all interesting and fun to page through and I learned so much. I'm glad there is such a resource out there.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Fulcrum Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
