<i>The Blacker the Ink</i> is the first collection to explore not only the diverse range of black characters in comics, but also the multitude of ways that black artists, writers, and publishers have made a mark on the industry. The book's fifteen original essays take us on a journey that includes familiar milestones like <i>Luke Cage</i> and <i>The Boondocks</i>, while spanning everything from African American newspaper comics of the 1930s to Francophone graphic novels of the 2000s.
