Collections in Black: A Celebration of Black Comic Book Culture delves into the significant contributions of African American collectors, artists, writers, and creators from the Golden Age of comics to the present. The exhibition presents Black comic book culture, featuring rare items and rich narratives around African Americans in the history of comic art.
“We have a heavy impact,” Thompson says. “There are so many unsung heroes in the comic industry, and there are some that have been pushed to the side, and there are some you don’t know because you just don’t know. During the Golden, Bronze Age, and Silver Age, before the internet, sometimes these guys didn’t even go to the office, so you didn’t even know these guys were Black.” -Big Phill
