I am the proud owner of two, that’s right two original pieces of Moebius art. It’s a big deal and it’s not a big deal. It’s a big deal because Moebius is one of the greatest artists ever. Period. It’s not a big deal because hundreds, maybe even thousands, have an original piece of Moebius…
I’m looking for a few good artists. In February 2013, I will have the honor of curating a galley show called Milestones: African Americans in Comics. Pop Culture and Beyond. The show will held at the Geppi Entertainment Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. It’s my goal to make this the most comprehensive showing of black comic…
I don’t get it. The San Diego Comic Con is a yearly event. Every year for almost 20 years (since I was 5, Jean) like clockwork I give a party at Comic Con. Every year like clockwork I host a dinner at Comic Con. Every year like clockwork I host The Black Panel at Comic…
Please take a moment to look at the graphic that accompanies this article. Chances are you seen it before on the net or right here on ComicMix when Glenn posted it a few days ago. Shit. I’ll admit it’s clever as shit. It’s interesting as shit. It’s thought provoking as shit. I came across this…
Officially, I’ve worked in comics since 1983. In all that time I think I’ve only met one black woman who was involved in comics in a decision-making capacity. I’ve known black woman receptionists and assistants but I can only think of one who had a job in which she was part of the comic book…
When I was a kid around 12 years old I met another kid around the same age while at the library. This was a big deal because I was black and he was white and I had no white friends, so at the time this was an historic meeting for me at the time. We…
I am far from being a prude. In fact, I’m so far away from being a prude the next level in my open mindedness would be to become a prude. I’ve met a lot of prudes in my life and nothing makes a prude more prudish than their views on sex. Me? As long as…
It’s not a black or white world. The world is made up of many shades of gray. Yet somehow when something happens to a black character “racism” always clings to the debate. There has been a flurry of activity since DC cancelled Static Shock. The DC official line is the book was cancelled because of…
I’ve spent the last few months praising the DC New 52 in one form or another. Months before the books came out, I was debating those who thought the reboot was anything from a simply bad idea to the end of the world, as we know it. I defended the idea then and in fact…

Because Marc Alan Fishman doesn’t. A few days ago Marc wrote that he doesn’t like the New 52 and he took me to task over a few things I wrote in my Why I Like The New 5 article last week. It seems that Marc, or he who is Dead To Me, or simply Dead…
Because I’m trying to kiss the ass of DC Comics. The end. Well that’s not really true. If you know anything about my history you will know the last thing I’d ever do is kiss ass. It’s simply not in my DNA not now, not ever. I’ve been in many a situation where a well…
I am a black man. Well that’s not really true. I’m a tall and unbelievably handsome black man. I work in television, mainstream books and comics. Most of the works I’ve created in all of those mediums have featured black people in foremost roles. I create black characters because I’m a black creator and I’d…
