Comic books in 'Luke Cage'

1st printing. By Troy D. Smith. SHAOLIN BREW: RACE, COMICS, AND EVOLUTION OF SUPERHERO looks at how the comic book industry developed from a white perspective and how minority characters were and are viewed through a stereotypical white gaze. Further, the book explores how voices of color have launched a shift in the industry, taking nonwhite characters who were originally viewed through a white lens and situating them outside the framework of whiteness. The financial success of Blaxploitation and Kung Fu films in the early 1970s led to major comics publishers creating, for the first time, Black and Asian superhero characters who headlined their own comics. Author Troy D. Smith focuses on Asian, Black, and Latinx representation in the comic industry and how it has evolved over the years. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, Text (with B&W Illustrations). Cover price $30.00.
