My friend asked me since he wanted to know and I wasn't really sure myself. |

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. _________________ BUY GOTHAM CENTRAL FOR THE BEST RECAP PAGE IN COMICS HISTORY!

Blacks are everywhere. Hell, just the other day I saw a black guy in a McDonalds comercial, so there must be tons of em.
seriously, I have no idea what you're asking. _________________ "A truth is not hard to kill and a lie told well is immortal." - Mark Twain |

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