Recently published by Rutgers University Press is Desegregating Comics – Debating Blackness in the Golden Age of American Comics, edited by Qiana Whitted. Some comics fans view the American comic industry’s Golden Age (1930s-1950s) as a challenging time when it comes to representations of race, an era when the few Black characters appeared as brutal savages, devious witch doctors, or unintelligible minstrels.
