The February PREVIEWS Features
Black History Month — February is
Black History Month, and PREVIEWS
showcases comics and graphic novels that feature black characters or are
created by African-American creators, or describe the black experience in
America. We have biographical comics telling the stories of the likes of Nelson
Mandela, Jackie Robinson, and Martin Luther King, Jr., and tributes to comic
artists like Golden Age great Matt Baker. Look for the Black History Month icon
throughout the catalog.
On The Flip
Side — Nigerian comics creator Roye Okupe is the creator of an entire universe under his
publishing company YouNeek Studios. Okupe's superhero universe derives its background and
culture directly from his own African roots, providing a unique setting for his
readers that cannot be found between the pages of many superhero stories
published today. Diamond's Ashley Kronsberg spoke with Roye
Okupe about the building of his YouNeek
Universe and how the influence of Nigerian and African culture brings a
refreshing take to the superhero genre.
