Access Guide to the Black Comic Book Community 2021-22

The world of comics is undoubtedly filled with wonders, but sometimes, we don’t really get to see the real deal. In 2020 — in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder — Heavy Metal editor Joseph Illidge, Comic Beat reporter George Carmona 3rd, and Anyone Comics owner, Dimitrios Fragiskatos created a book featuring Black comic book creators, Black-owned stores, and more. This year, they are doing a second round with the Access Guide to the Black Comic Book Community 2021-22.

This project takes on the mantle of the Black Lives Matter movement and provides concrete information that supporters can use in a practical manner. If — or when — an individual wants to actively support the movement, they can refer to the Access Guide and take action.

With the Access Guide to the Black Comic Book Community 2021-22, we are treated to updated information and then some.

Discover new Black-owned businesses that will fill up your geek meter.

Take Black Star Collectibles, for example. Instead of going to big-name retailers, you may want to support the community instead.

Also, learn more about the Black creators in the comic book community.

True to the spirit of the project, the creators of the book are relying on the community to make the second edition a reality. They have an ongoing Kickstarter project, which has eight days to go as of this writing. The good news is that the project is already funded, meaning that we are going to see Access Guide to the Black Comic Book Community 2021-22 come to fruition.

Again, have easy access to information about Black creators, businesses, and podcasts. Show your support — eight days to go! — here.
