bronze johnny Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I started a thread on comic books during the Jim Crow era - racial segregation and how comic books reflected the Jim Crow era had interesting examples that were posted on the thread.

sacentaur Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I just scored this Fawcett at SDCC the other day. Note that there are two versions of the comic - the regular US edition, and a Canadian (with blank inside covers). This is the Canadian. porcupine48 and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldCap Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Great thread idea Sqeggs! Personally, I've always wanted a copy of Negro Romances #2. First one I've ever seen put up on the bay ended about a month ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Negro-Romances-2-Super-Rare-African-Americana-Comic/152592656077?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Not a good comic at all (unlike many African-American comics, this one usually sells very cheap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 It's not Golden Age, but it's such a niche that I have to ask in this thread: anyone collect Firzgerald's Golden Legacy series and his short-lived Fast Willie Jackson? I do the latter as an Archie fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThothAmon Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm sure it's revisionist history but I like to think of the Fantom of the Fair as the first African American costumed superhero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Here's the guy usually thought to be the first African-American comicbook hero, although, as discussed in another thread, it's a bit ambiguous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
