Scott Shaw! salutes black history

All-black comic from 1947

One of the highlights of the Black Panel at NYCC was when Denys Cowan started mentioning all the pioneers deserving of wider recognition. Scott Shaw! celebrates Black History Month on his Oddball Comics website with a title from 1947 called All-Negro Comics entirely produced by black cartoonists/ The page also includes a discussion of other comics of the time created for black audiences.

A fascinating read, including lots of clickable articles and illustrations. (No Michael Davis, I don't believe "Negro Kitty" is among the characters, so you still own that idea...)
