ITS LIFE AS I SEE IT B LACK CARTOONISTS IN CHICAGO SC
Between the 1940s and 1980s, Chicago's B LACK press, The Chicago Defender to the Negro Digest to self-published pamphlets, were home to some of the best cartoonists in America. Kept out of the pages of white-owned newspapers, B LACK cartoonists found space to address the joys, the horrors, and the everyday realities of B LACK life in America. From Jay Jackson's anti-racist time travel adventure serial Bungleton Green, to Morrie Turner's radical mixed-race strip Dinky Fellas, to the afrofuturist comics of Yaoundé Onli and Turtel Onli, to National Book Award-winning novelist Charles Johnson's blistering and deeply funny gag cartoons, this is work that has for far too long been excluded and overlooked. This anthology is an essential addition to the history of American comics.
