I don't really get the question. Are you talking about comics or culture in general? If comics, Kyle Baker and Priest are both examples. If culture, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Whoopi Goldberg, etc.

Christopher Priest is easily one of the best writers out there.

Just go to a comic book convention. You'll see creators of all shades and shapes Smile

The artist I've collaborated the most with, Rick Mays, (Scarab, Masks of the Noh, Ultimate Marvel Team Up, etc.) is black.

He just finished doing the interiors of the new Iron Fist for Marvel. He's been doing the covers for them. And he's doing a new Marvel project right now with Adam Warren.

It is kind of interesting how this medium gives you a sort of invisible celebrity. You can be a fan of peoples work and have no idea what they look like, what race, or shape or vibe. It's always interesting to meet creators at cons and see what they look like or what their pesonal demeanor is compared to what vibe you get from them thru their work.
