 Since the late 1950s in the USA folks have been cast in shade and shame for being into Comic Books or Graphic Novels. Thus this dynamic medium , which is a challenging hybrid of Visual & Literary Art, is marginalized as something restricted to early youth. 


It is often not embraced as literature or art. Yet study after study confirms that folks who tend to read Comic Books & Graphic Novels have high reading comprehension skills based on standardized tests. Vaulted higher ordered cognition and more. Often ridiculed as being those weird lame geeky nerdy kids, they actually are those smarter, intelligent learners.


 This is why I maintain all of the principles of Kwanzaa in my 5 decades long creation, advocacy and publishing of the Rhythmistic Comics from ONLI STUDIOS LLC. I serious appreciate all of y'all for your positive participation. We at ONLI STUDIOS LLC and the growing Black Age of Comics genre could not had done our important work of creativity, culture, content & commerce without you.




 I often ask: How Black was the entire animation, comic book or Graphic Novels industry before we launched the Black Age of Comics in Chicago in 1993 at the historic South Side Community Art Center? As always it is our dreams versus the mainstreams.



Alunta Continua!
