In 2017, Mollie Godfrey of the English Department and Librarian Brian Flota were awarded a Provost's Diversity Curriculum Grant to develop a collection of African American comic books to support Dr. Godfrey's English 359 course "African American Graphic Novels."
The comic books on this list are housed in Special Collections. Many of the comics listed were donated by Bradley and Brian Flota and David Gaines.
This list includes comic books that prominently feature Black characters and subject matter as well as those by Black comic book creators (writers, artists, pencillers, inkers, publishers, etc.).
