It's time to go... all negro!

I will be storytiming All Negro Comics. A curious comic book from 1947, supposedly written and made only by negr... I mean, Afro-Americans. It seems they intended to make it a regular monthly, but there was ever only one issue. Sadly!

Let's do this

Other comics with the name "Negro" in 1940s were Fawcett's "Negro Romance" and Parents Magazine Institute’s "Negro Heroes", all short-lived.

So weird that these speech patterns are basically just like modern ones. I'm so used to '40s speech sounding weird, and '40s black speech sounding embarrassingly racist. Must be because finally black dialogue is actually being written by a black person.

I feel really bad about this. We call this offensive and weird today, but this was an honest attempt s tbgiving black artists a voice back in the day.

The fact that it got cancelled because white racists strangled it is disheartening.
>>
>>68038291
The reason it never came out? once paper suppliers (owned by rich, white men) realized that the magazine was black owned and operated, their supplies of paper mysteriously dried up. A second issue was completely ready to go, but there was nothing to print it on.
