HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the mighty LANCE TOOKS!

I just wanna take a second to give a birthday shout to cartoonist and former Marvel Comics assistant editor  Lance Tooks (the Lucifer's Garden of Verses series, Black Panthers for Beginners, Graphic Classics, Danger Funnies, Floaters)!

I'm THANKFUL for the promise of a TRIBE relaunch...

My friend Alan got me started thinking about the cult-classic comic TRIBE, a creator-owned book that combined the aesthetics of indie superheroes and black consciousness that made it exciting to be a black comic book reader in the early nineties.

 We are ALL huge fans of Brian Stelfreeze here at GhettoManga, so when Mike shared out a few Stelfreeze joints, it sent me over to the Brian Stelfreeze Fan Page on Facebook to see what else he posted that day.  Here's a few selections...

Wishlisted- "The Black Panthers for Beginners" by Herb Boyd and Lance Tooks

The Black Panthers is one of the most misunderstood groups in history for a whole host of reasons. I was very pleased when that dude John Jennings shared this book Black Panthers for Beginners illustrated by our Black Comix bredren Lance Tooks (Lucifer's Garden of Verses, Narcissa).
