No, I haven’t forgotten what month this is… but to be honest, there are so many other sites that can cover Black History Month better and more comprehensively than I can. I only have so many hours in a day to go online, much less post on this blog. While I will definitely link to a BHM-related piece if it’s comics-related, I’m gonna just point you to this link and let you take it from there.

Finally, I think it’s finally safe for me to reveal this… When I first began Glyphs as an e-zine, it was my hope to have a print version to accompany the email newsletter version. Now that dream is very close to becoming a reality. A few months ago, I hooked up with a fella I met online named Ron King who had a very similar dream - of creating a black-themed comics magazine. And we’ve done it.
At the New York Comic-Con later this month, we will unveil UVC: The Urban Voice in Comics!
