- Summary:
- "In 1947, groundbreaking journalist Orrin C. Evans assembled a team of Black cartoonists to publish 'All-Negro comics,' the first comic book created by Black artists for Black readers of all ages. Almost a century later, All-Negro Comics #1 is a little-known relic instead of an American heirloom like Action Comics #1, Marvel Comics #1, and other milestone comic books from the era. 'All-Negro comics: America's first Black comic book' preserves that history for generations to come, containing 'All-Negro comics' #1, in full and digitally remastered for clarity, several essays for historical context and contemporary reflection, as well as new stories by Black writers and artists of today, featuring the original characters"--Page 4 of cover.
