For decades the comic book industry has
been dominated by white males, not only
the creators themselves, but the characters
they create have primarily been white
men. From Spiderman to Captain America
and more. Although comic book figures of
African descent have been around just as
long as their white male counterparts such
as Luke Cage, Black Panther, Storm of the X
-Men, Misty Knight, Night Thrasher of the
New Warriors, and Blade the Vampire
Hunter just to name a few, all of the
aforementioned comic book heroes were
created by white men. No matter how
skilled and imaginative seasoned writers
are, they cannot capture the true essence
and voice of a black character. In recent
history comic books, collectors and fans of
the medium have witnessed a rise of new
black writers and creators, and one of the
stars blazing the trail for black creatives in
the comic book world is emerging writer
Ryan White! Ryan White has been making
moves in the indie comic book scene for
years and recently started gaining
popularity with the release of his titles and
ongoing series Late Justice, and The
Geneva Convention. The remarkable
creativity shoots out of Ryan's mind and
onto the print, and he certainly has no
plans of slowing up now. Ryan also has
more writing projects lined up for 2020 and
he's also been added to the diverse writing
team of the sketch comedy podcast
Yesterday Night Taped, the show which
stars D'ara Gray (Ashley from the hit
Geechee One Film 7 Days 2 Christmas), and
other Geechee One Film mainstays such as
Monique Greene (Amir's Verdict, Justin,
Twerk, etc.), James Tavelle (The Ugly
Friend, Untimely Reunion) and rising stand
up comedienne Laquita Johnson (100
Bodies, It's A Bi$ch Birthday) and more!
When Ryan White isn't writing fantasy,
action-adventure comic books or comedy,
he is constantly writing thought-provoking
and moving poetry as well as song lyrics
under the pseudonym Slow Chemical. As
Slow Chemical, he released many critically
acclaimed songs and projects such as fulllength
album Midnight's Inspired and the
EP Serving All Masters. Both projects and
many more are available to stream on
Spotify.
