early comic book pioneer

black females in comics really good list of characters. not all of them but alot of modern ones.

found this intesresting. some artist ranking the size of body types had a general consensus on white males. and alot of confusion about white females. black females aren't mentioned. in a conversation about olympians and body types no one talks about black women.
