Yes! Last year we not only went virtual to fantastic response and acclaim, but we rebranded our original annual Black Age of Comics Chicago Convention. Boldly launched in 1993 by ONLI STUDIOS in 1993 with tangible support and coordination with Milestone Media, when the orthodox idealogues and standard bearers in the comics industry and the Afrocentric community insisted calling this amazing force of creativity, culture and commerce, "Black Age" was a bad move.
Some even said the two words "Black" and "Age" did not belong together. Then came the folks who wanted it to be exclusively a "Black thing: only. NOPE!
This is why we need your luv. money and positive participation whenever and as you can.
Well fortunately Prof. Onli and his determined associates at ONLI STUDIOS stayed the course. The Black Age of Comics is open sourced. It welcomes all positive cool creative folks. It challenged and inspired the expansion of the entire industry.
As Prof. Onli often asks: "How much "color" was being promoted in the industry before ONLI STUDIOS produced the world's first annual full service innovative indie Black Age of Comics Convention. Held in the historic Bronzeville District of Chicago at the iconic National Treasure, the South Side Community Art Center?"
We offered not just a home but a new growing flavor. We welcomed others to serve it up. The likes of ECBACC, Detroit Motor City, Onyx Con, Pocket Con, MECCA Con, and Afro Con are our ever-loving kinfolks. We rock. They rock! We luv! We grow as the new flavor. As we all know. Once you go Black you may never go Black!
And you do not have to be one to enjoy it! Welcome!
