there was a black comic imprint that was gaining traction and clout but DC brought them out remember...
how hard is it to hire black writers who want to write comic books...
I have written about why as a black comic creator.
it is difficult to be a black comic creator.
as you are asked to solve the world's issue and create a character that solves all the issues. When the same companies do not want you to create any media.
that attempts to solves the world issues.
Plus the actual fanbase of black people from casuals to those in a comic book box. All have the same expectations as the end game.
which is the most difficult task to have.
when everyone who makes comics is typically an escapist. Only Aaron mcgruder has answered this call to arms. Yet he was brilliant enough to attack this. Plus win after a very direct attack.
as a creator to the status quo from the comic strip daily media with real world newspaper print market.
with comics it is harder to do as you are asked to create a hero. That is mightier than Malcolm x, a Phillip Randolph and milk put together. Plus do it in a package that is viewed as serious but asked to be so in the social pocket. It also should be the world's greatest comedy and asking any black creator.
to be required to do this.
is why the shortage of creations and creators being black are in the small number they are.
if you don't think so.
think about creating a mass marketed black hero.
who solves every issue and is required to do so. Above and beyond anything Superman to spidey/cap america is responsible for.
when people say Oh why is such and such black person not in comics.
it is a complete byproduct of people being completely naive to what they are asking for.
Plus asking of someone who may never have ever been exposed in this day and age to what that is. Plus you require a black creator to go above and beyond what any other creator is asked. As no other creator is asked nor required to really save the world in comics. Yet black people as comic creators are asked...plus if aware. Has to also be well educated against misappropriation for this task as well.
plus how not to be victimized by misappropriation of this character as well.
