A picture is still worth a thousand words!
NOTE: February 2022 was our second annual virtual, free-range, dynamic, educational, inter-global convention. The almighty rebranded "Black Sankofa 2.0"!
We will organically upload resources each week during this month.
Our ever-cool and totally hip partner in Sankofa this year, Punx of Rage, will be doing vivid interviews with selected intelligent Black Age Greats each Friday of this month at 8:00PM Central-Standard Time via Blog Talk Radio. com / Punx of Rage.
Feel free to visit them to learn from their trove of past unique cataloged interviews.
And yes....you do not have to be Black to participate. However, it helps to be cool, awesome, intelligent or positive.
BTW! Keep buying their fantastic books and other powerful products as they cannot do this amazing work without your type of real-world participation! Store Link
We overwhelmed this industry back in 1993 when we launched our first convention to expand it forever. We are inching up on three decades of offering the best of the Black Age of Comics!
"How much Diversity, Color, or Alternative were in this industry before we launched our Bold Black Age Bomb in 1993?"
That mission has transformed this industry forever!
We welcome you to our current journey as we look both ways into the collective past foundations & our promising dynamic future.
From the random past and
into the exciting future.
Last year we went virtual in our annual convention to great success!
Thanks Y'all!
This indie Black Age of Comics Chicago comic-con was started as a full service and totally welcoming mini-comic-con in Chicago in 1993.
Our Graphiti Logo Tab was created by the talented team of Jennifer Witt and Alanni.
It was the very first event of its kind on planet Earth! But not the last.
Bold enuff to call itself BLACK!
Yet open enuff to reach out to all positive folks, be they Fluid, Blue, Red, Straight, Disabled, POC, Hippies, Normal, Black, FLKs, White, Asian, LatinX, Green, Yellow, Bronze, Odd, Gifted, or Martian.
Killa support was given at that time by the ever-awesome Milestone Media, and Herbert Nipson, The Executive Editor of The Johnson Publishing Company. Produced by ONLI STUDIOS LLC. Hosted in the Bronzeville District of Chicago at the historic National Treasure certified South Side Community Art Center.
Truth be Told!
Last year "Black Age XXVI" was rebranded to"BLACK SANKOFA!".
Focusing on practical reflection, education, exposure, enrichment and creative production.
Still universally open as only Black can be. Open to all positive folks from Mars, back yonder, both sides of the tracks, down under, around the way and out back! Moving forward in our virtual platform & program during the month of February each year! Still pushing the glory and story of all things indie in this hybrid nexus of narrative art, literature, creativity, culture, & commerce!
We appreciate all of the generous donations from those of you who generously gave to our killa mission of positive Creativity, Culture, & Commerce!
We could not do it without your luv!
