Description

Very few black comic book collectors know about the Black Pulp heroes. And I'm sure that if they were more widely known there would have been a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen type gold rush and plundering (that's not a bad thing). The black pulp heroes appeared exclusively in african-american newspapers like the Black Chronicle and the Chicago Defender, within quality comic strips that were printed from the 1920's to the 1970's.

There were time traveling heroes like Bungleton Green and his Mystic Commandos, adventures in the old west with the Chisholm Kid and Jack Davis, sports hero and university student Don Powers, globe trotting special agent Guy Fortune, Tuskegee Airman the stoic Jive Gray, hard boiled detective Mark Hunt, hard traveling spacemen like Neil Knight the black Buck Rogers, cab driver Tempus Todd, gritty World War II heroes Sergeant Joe and Jim Steele, black heroine Torchy Brown, female racecar designer and driver Kandy McKay, and my favorite, soldier of fortune Speed Jaxon.
