Pack your bags because we’re headed to Chicago!
Legend of the Mantamaji is rolling into C2E2 with our usual booth an a hot panel you have to see:
Comics, American Culture & the Black Male Image: Perspectives from Creators
March 19, 2016, 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM Location: S405a
The heavy hitters are coming out for this panel to take a unique look at the Black male experience from a comic creator’s perspective:
“And… Action!” Entertainment invites you to join TV Director/creator Eric Dean Seaton (Legend of the Mantamaji), writer David Walker (Cyborg, Shaft), professor/artist John I. Jennings (SUNY Buffalo, Kid Code), actor/writer Kevin Grevioux (creator Blue Marvel & Underworld) and moderator Mark Smith (iHeart Radio 1390 am) as they discuss black male identity in comics past, present and future. How do comics in their various forms (books, movies, TV) impact society’s view of the Black male and how Black men view themselves? How are creators using art to reshape the narrative in pop culture as a whole? Diversity is not a buzzword, it’s a call to action.
