The Black Age of Comics flavor, genre & movement was exploded in 1993 as an open nexus of creativity, culture & commerce. The first full scale Black Age of Comics Convention was given in Chicago IL, Feb. 1993. "The Black Age of Comics", celebrates creators & products derived of the Black, Urbane, Alternative, or African experience. Plus its growing legions of fans! Black Age is Copyright Turtel Onli 2018
The Founder of the growing dynamic Black Age of Comics genre, movement & comic-cons will have an impressive historic exhibition in early 2024. In Chicago at the Logan Center For the Arts per the campus of the University of Chicago.
One does not have to be Black to get one's Black Age on! It's like eating Mexican or Thai cuisine but not being of those cultures or nationalities.
Black is not anti-anything. It is a flavor.
One that has long since won the global cultural wars in the arts and much more.
So why are most music collections still so much Blacker than most collections of Comic Books or Graphic Novels?
30 years later we still have to set the record straight!
History and the raw fact show this. Others falsely claim to be the first. NOPE! They are not. The Black Age was always positive and open to all. Prof. Onli has always welcomed the growth of this genre provided by later event producers. Their being more resourced and well connected does not give them the right to falsely claim to be the first. They were not!
But their astute efforts and positive impact prove that Prof. Onli was correct to boldly coin the term and intelligently share this growing force of culture, creativity & commerce in 1993 when so many were afraid to be Black or Indie!
Remember, you do not have to be Black to get your Black Age on!
"Indie today: Black Age Forever!"
