About this Collection

This 2025 Image Comics volume reprints the entirety of the landmark 1947 All-Negro Comics #1, the first comic book written and drawn entirely by Black creators. Featuring stories and characters like Lion Man and the crime-fighting Ace Harlem, this collection preserves a pivotal but long-overlooked piece of comics history. It includes historical context and essays that frame the original issue's significance as a bold statement against racial stereotypes in the medium.

In this groundbreaking 2025 release from Image, All-Negro Comics introduces Lion Man, a college-educated scientist dispatched by the United Nations on a mission that blends science and courage. Written, drawn, and inked by John Terrell, the story pulses with purpose and vision, set against a backdrop that celebrates Black excellence and ambition. The issue closes with a house ad encouraging young readers to stay grounded in faith and sport, teasing an upcoming feature on Black trailblazers in athletics.
