Agents Of The Realm, M.F.K., and the ascent of black women in webcomics In January of last year, Miz Caramel Vixen, co-creator of the multidisciplinary website Vixen Varsity, launched #BlackComicsMonth, a Twitter hashtag dedicated to spotlighting black comics creators over the course of Black History Month in February. The hashtag quickly caught on with the larger comics community, spawning a website that continues to shine that spotlight year-round, proudly proclaiming that “Every Month is BlackComicsMonth!” (For more on the creation of #BlackComicsMonth, check out this A.V. Club interview with Miz Caramel Vixen.) The hashtag and its creator are doing important work expanding awareness of black creators in an industry dominated by white men. All it takes is one review of this week’s new releases to see how sorely lacking comics are in representation off the page. -- source link
