New edition of Israel Escamilla
The All-Negro Comics was published in 1947. The comic book was a single-issue, small-press comic that represented the first known characters in the book. The magazine was written and drawn solely by Black writers and artist.
In 1947, Time magazine called the All-Negro Comics "the first to be drawn by Negro artists and peopled entirely by Negro characters." In describing lead feature "Ace Harlem", it said, "The villains were a couple of zoot-suited, jive-talking Negro muggers, whose presence in anyone else's comics might have brought up complaints of racial 'distortion.' Since it was all in the family, Evans thought no Negro readers would mind."
