ᏥᏍᎪᏇ ᎠᏲᏍᎩ

A single, oversized 1975 King Features comic strip starring the Cherokee superhero ᏥᏍᎪᏇ ᎠᏲᏍᎩ, this is a landmark of Indigenous representation in mainstream comics. The character, whose name translates to "The Great Eagle," was created by a team of Cherokee writers and artists to bring authentic Native American mythology and heroism to the funny pages. Though only one issue was produced, its cultural significance endures as an early, deliberate step toward diverse storytelling in the medium.
