A History of Black Superheroes--Leon gets SCOOPED!!!

I've read comics my whole life.
I've created comics throughout my professional career.
Depending on who you ask, some people would say I practically am one...

So WHO would be better suited than me, Leon D.Grance, to write about the history of Black (or African-American, if you will) Superheroes?

ANSWER?: ...uh, her-

TONYZ GIRL is who!

Early this morning while I was nursing a hangover from recording this week's L.E.O.G, Tonyz Girl (inspired by the opening of Hancock) cranked out this brilliant piece of work:"I Need A Hero!"


ALL NEGRO COMICS NO. 1 (June, 1947)

All Negro featured black characters in knock offs of already established white characters: Ace Harlem (a police detective like Dick Tracy), Lion Man (a jungle hero like Tarzan) and Sugarfoot and Snake-Oil (a comedy team like Laurel & Hardy, but in the minstrel tradition), and there were others ...


As much I'd like to tell you that, "Oh, uh...I coulda done that...if I wanted to", the truth is she really did her research and I'm quite jealous.

Enjoy!

Thank you Leon. You are too kind. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had fun working on it.
My boy Tony is the real comic junkie. I wanted to impress him.

The "ALL NEGRO COMICS" . That one was an eyebrow raiser LOL!
I yelled... WTF! But that was 1947.

Don't be jealous Boo, You're still the man!
