"The blacker the berry,,,,,the sweeter the juice!"  

We think of Black as a flavor. 
Like Thai, Italian or other fine world cuisines.

 The more indie Black Age products you buy, share and gift the better we become in meeting your desire for the very best progressive Conventions, Graphic Novels & innovative Comic Books possible.  This is our bond. Our creed. Our essence!

You do not have to be Black to get your Black on!


We feature print products for a variety of reasons.  

This hybrid of the Visual and Literary Arts still has immense unexplored growth potential.  

You know this.
 
The mainstream knows this. 

And we offer this!


ONLI STUDIOS not only launched the growing indie Black Age of Comics in 1993 but has been a prolific consistent open indie publisher & producer since 1981. 

A solid professional operation that goes where the mainstream does not!


We bring the fun, fire & funk in comics as never before. New concepts. Better art.  
More interesting narratives.  Expanding universes.


Indie Black Age publishers are mostly banned in mainstream Comic Book Stores and indie Afrocentric Bookstores for being too creative and dangerous to the over controlling limits and predictable orthodoxy of the mainstream's market stranglehold on your choices and reading entertainment!  

They work to restrict the more creative indie world from the shelves!


Yet, Onli Studios has boldly led the charge for decades with its advocacy of the growing indie Black Age of Comics. A welcoming force that produces products and events that not only address your precious unmet needs but charts new territory for the real dynamic future of indie Graphic Novels, Comic Books and related industries.

Every indie collector needs a set of the awesome Rhythmistic Graphic Novels from 
"The Father of the Black Age", Prof. Turtel Onli.  
Available online via ONLI STUDIOS.


"Once you go Black you may never go back!!"

Mayor Rham Emanuel of Chicago salutes Prof. Onli 
for guiding the Black Age of Comics 
as a growing positive force of creativity, culture & commerce 
per its long association with the DuSable Museum of Black History.



"Indie today: Black Age Forever!" 


One book and one fan at a time!

ONLI STUDIOS published the 'zine Future Funk in the early 1980s. 

That was in the 20th Century!!!!

Funk will never die!




In 1982, long before the trending of "Afrofuturism" we, ONI STUDIOS published the forward ballistic moving z'ine, "Future Funk" to promote the creative arts with a serious indie flow.  

We did this, not due to the likes of George Clinton or Sun Ra.....but because of Rhythmism.  

We welcome the luv and impact of all things "Afrofuturistic".... but Future Funk and ONLI STUDIOS were always about putting the Future in The Funk.
