Between the 1940s and 1980s, Chicago's Black press - from the Chicago Defender to the Negro Digest to self-published pamphlets - was home to some of the best cartoonists in America. Kept out of the pages of white-owned newspapers, Black cartoonists found a space to address the joys, the horrors, and the everyday realities of Black life in America. From anti-racist time travel adventure serials, to Klan-skewering gag cartoons, to radical racially mixed daily strips, to underground Afrofuturist comics, this is work that has for far too long been excluded and overlooked. This anthology is a companion to the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago's exhibition Chicago Comics: 1960 to Now, and is an essential addition to the history of American comics.
