Overall, Black Comics is an extremely well rounded and impressive work of scholarship. Though this book spans a wide breadth of critical perspectives on various Black comic creators, its critical inquiry is focused and sustained. … Black Comics is as an ambitious, essential text for any comics scholar and should be regarded as a canonical example of American comics scholarship.

Black Comics: Politics of Race and Representation” (Bloomsbury), edited by Howard and Ronald L. Jackson II, is an especially essential work because it not only holds a clear and illuminating mirror up to the faces we see on paper, but it also attaches faces and personal back-stories to black writers and artists — pioneers who are all too overlooked, who faced struggles all too forgotten.
