The Bronze Age and the Rise of Diversity in the American Comic Book

[Ijiwaru Sensei]

After doing a little research, I found that the Human Top was a new character, but that he was also an attempt to create an alternative to the racist Whitewash Jones character who was an original member of the GA Young Allies.

These books are great!

 

I have never seen them before. Were there any other comic books published by Fitzgerald Periodicals?

You said it, Old Guy! Look like they were inspired by Archie! Even Jabar (in #4) - the only one wearing a hat, has a typical Jughead response (say! Jughead wore a hat too!).

 

These folks may be Black but the antics and scenarios could be any middle or even upper-middle class white. Just change the skin tone! They just be havin' some fun!

 

Oh yeah, Old Guy - you're is not lost on me!

 

::editing fast:: At least Black folk had a series but...well, it could have been done a lot better. After all, this IS the middle of the BA based on the 30 cent covers. Marvel and DC were doing much grimmer, more earthy and more realistic things (as far as emotions and situations go.)
