Recent @maumeeantique comic book haul: Orion of th Recent @maumeeantique comic book haul: Orion of the New Gods issue 3 (1971, DC) , the first appearance of Black Racer created x Jack Kirby. 

Wayne Howard’s Midnight Tales issue 6 (1973, Charlton Comics). Always have to pick up this Black pioneer illustrator of the #wallywoodart tradition.

Quincy; Comics Reading Libraries issue 5(1973, King Features) x African American cartoonist Ted Shearer.  This copy is in much better condition than my other copy.  On the hunt for Issue 14 — Quincy for President!

Black Panther; Panther’s Prey by the dynamic duo Don McGregor and Dwayne Turner (1991, Marvel). See! I don’t just buy Bronze Age Comics!  LOL

Ciao! Albi Dei Super Eroi Ase Issue 7 (1972, Marve Ciao! Albi Dei Super Eroi Ase Issue 7 (1972, Marvel) featuring Luke Cage, Hero for Hire. This is the Italian reprint of the original Marvel comicbook key.  Published in 1972.  I picked this up at my LCS @freedomcomics for cash and trade.  They picked up a huge Italian comic haul on their vacation.  So “Italian Grade” is better than No Grade.  For the time being this is my personal first issue key.  #historicblackcomics #lukecage #marvelcomics #bronzeagecomics

My review is available @blackcomixuniverse link in bio. 

“The accomplished creative team, who previously brought us Parable of the Sower, has once again found remarkable ways to amplify the dread and hope that form the bedrock of Butler’s storytelling.”
Warning! Underground Comix on display today! Look Warning! Underground Comix on display today! Look away Prowler! 

White Whxre Funnies by Black underground legends Larry Fuller (Ebon) and Raye Horne (aka Wiley Spade). Published independently by Ful-Horne Publishing in 1975. 

Larry Fuller published Ebon, the first self titled Black Superhero comic in 1970. However most folks don’t know he built his career creating adult comics. He’s also known for publishing the first Gay Comic “Gay Heart Throbs”. 

Now here’s the bad news. My copy is a SECOND PRINTING!! Arrrgg! I totally missed this but as you can see my copy was published by Yentzler and Goniff in 1987. The original first printing should have the FH Ful-Horne logo in the top left corner. And a date of ‘75. Buyer beware. #undergroundcomix #larryfuller #rayehorne #wileyspade #historicallyblackcomics
On display: Dwayne Turner @barnstormingproductions On display: Dwayne Turner @barnstormingproductions appreciation! After reading a great story on the artist on @the_comics_journal_ I went hunting for #comickeys: 

Luke Cage 1 of course (Marvel, 1992), Sovereign 7 Issue 1 with @chrisclearmountain Chris Clairmont (DC, 1995), Curse of Spawn 1 w/ @toddmcfarlane and company, and his early work with Dwayne McDuffie, Avengers Spotlight 26 (Marvel, 1989). Last but not least, Butcher Knight 3, Turners original IP.
Happy Sunday. On display today: Black issues 1,2,5 Happy Sunday. On display today: Black issues 1,2,5,6 X @kwanzer Kwanza Osajyefo. Art by @jamaliglecomics Jamal Igle. The covers are by @kharyrandolph of course. These black and white motifs make this series very sought after. Finding issue 3-4 will be an ordeal. (Black Mask, 2017). #blackcomics #historicallyblackcomics #kharyrandolph #jamaligle #comicbooklongbox #sundaymood☀️
Such an amazing mailcall! Gratuitous Ninja x Ronal Such an amazing mailcall! Gratuitous Ninja x Ronald Wimberly (@beehivebooks , 2023). This 5 x 5 x 8 inch box includes trading cards, a NY subway map (with secret Ninja routes) and 12 accordion style comics which
are print versions of the 12 @webtoonofficial episodes of Gratuitous Ninja.

This is by far the coolest thing in my personal collection/archive of Black comics. Fans of Afro Samurai, Boondocks and Black Dynamite will love this!
Juni Ba’s Monkey Meat: Summer Batch @juni.ba (@i Juni Ba’s Monkey Meat: Summer Batch @juni.ba (@imagecomics March 2025) presents a unique challenge for comic critics. Traditional reviews assess how well a work meets genre expectations, but Monkey Meat defies easy categorization. Therefore, my review isn’t a critique in the conventional sense, but a guide to the strange and wonderful fantasy island Ba has created.
