Summary
Description |
Original black-and-white art for Sunday color comic strip |
---|---|
Source | |
Article | |
Portion used |
Single example from a 1968-1974 defunct comic strip showing the first African-American starring character of a comic strips |
Low resolution? |
Low and greatly reduced, unsuitable to use for high quality reproduction. Additionally, it is a Sunday strip, so cropping it would be like only showing part of a magazine cover or a movie poster. There are extremely few daily strips of this obscure comic online, and in the handful I could find, the African-American is tied up or being beaten — neither of which conveys his historic place as the first black hero of a comic strip. Showing him being victimized rather than heroic in this context also could be construed as a mildly racist commentary. |
Purpose of use |
To identify the characters and art style of this historically significant comic strip containing the first African-American starring character in a comic strip, as detailed in the encyclopedia article about the series' artist co-creator |
Replaceable? |
