A Special Post in Honor of Martin Luther King Jr…and Cousin Harold
Rather than writing something, I tried my hand at making a video. Please check it out (because it took forever to put this together).
Work in progress…
I’m currently lettering The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein), and I wanted to share a brief glimpse of what’s in store. I’ll be posting more updates soon.
Apologies…
For a whole bunch of reasons, I haven’t been posting as much the last few weeks — I’m back to teaching at Portland State University, I working on finishing up The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein), and I’m prepping for the release of my new book, Black Film: A History of Black Representation and Participation in the Movies (coming March 24, 2026 from Ten Speed Press). But none of these are reason enough for me to be slacking on my posts, and starting next week you’ll start seeing more frequent nonsense and insanity from me. I appreciate all of you for supporting my Patreon, and over the next few months you’ll be seeing some really cool stuff…hopefully.
This is not the cover…
Seriously, this is not the cover to The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein), but I am considering offering it as a variant…or at the very least using it as a bonus pin-up. You see, I drew this. That’s right. Me draw this. Inks were done by Aaron Beatty. The reason I’m sharing this is because The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein) is almost done!!! The art is done, it looks amazing, and now the one-shot comic is being lettered, and colors will begin soon. Expect more information soon, including the first look at the cover, as well as info about the upcoming art contest (which includes cash prizes).
