History of Material Texts: Making the First Black Comic Book
All-Negro Comics (1947) is generally regarded as the first comic book produced by and for African Americans. This talk aims to build on a growing scholarly literature around the history of race and comics by looking at the process by which All-Negro Comics might have made its way into the hands of readers.
