Black ComicsDie westlichen Demokratien, insbesondere Deutschland, haben intensiv damit begonnen, sich mit ihrer kolonialen Geschichte auseinanderzusetzen. Dabei tun sich schmerzhafte Abgrnde aus Raub, Verschleppung, Versklavung und Vlkermord auf, die viel zu lange durch die Fiktion von Abenteuertum und vermeintlicher Zivilisationsentfaltung kaschiert wurden. Die Realitt sah anders aus: menschenverachtend und grausam. Und was sagt der Comic dazu? Man kann schwer

Die westlichen Demokratien, insbesondere Deutschland, haben intensiv damit begonnen, sich mit ihrer kolonialen Geschichte auseinanderzusetzen. Dabei tun sich schmerzhafte Abgründe aus Raub, Verschleppung, Versklavung und Völkermord auf, die viel zu lange durch die Fiktion von Abenteuertum und vermeintlicher Zivilisationsentfaltung kaschiert wurden. Die Realität sah anders aus: menschenverachtend und grausam. Und was sagt der Comic dazu? Man kann schwer erwarten, dass die Kulturprodukte rassistischer Gesellschaften nicht auch ein ebensolches Bild abgeben würden. Ein Negativbeispiel ist zum Beispiel Hergés 'Tim im Kongo' von 1930, in dem der blonde belgische Reporter an der Seite katholischer Missionare den 'dummen' Afrikanern Bildung und Tugendhaftigkeit bringt. Aber: Nur neun Jahre später machte es Jijé besser und bescherte dem europäischen Comic - mitten in der Besatzung Belgiens durch die Nazis - einen schwarzen Jungen als Titelhelden ('Blondin et Cirage'). Außerdem: Trotz seiner kolonialen Agenda wird 'Tim im Kongo' im Kongo selbst zu einem Bestseller und rangiert bis heute in Afrika unter den beliebtesten Comic-Titeln. Das Album wird zur Initialzündung einer eigenen afrikanischen Comic-Kultur: circa 50 Prozent der Comic-Künstler und -Künstlerinnen des gesamten Kontinents stammen aus dem Kongo. Das Beispiel zeigt: Mit plumpen Klischees und schnellen Verurteilungen ist hier wenig Staat zu machen. Das Thema ist sehr komplex und steckt voller Ambivalenzen. Zu Beginn der 1950er-Jahre prangerte der EC-Verlag den Rassismus in den USA und die Machenschaften des Ku-Klux-Klans an. In den frühen 1970ern erweiterten Jack Kirby und Co. den Superhelden-Kosmos um eine ganze Riege afroamerikanischer Helden, angeführt vom 'Black Panther'. Der Kampf der Bürgerrechtsbewegung hatte gefruchtet. Nun gab es nicht nur schwarze Helden, sondern sie wurden auch zunehmend von afroamerikanischen Künstlern gezeichnet. Immer stärker setzte die Black Community in der Comic-Landschaft eigene Akzente und Independent-Autoren und -Zeichner wie Ho Che Anderson oder Kyle Baker huldigten in Graphic Novels ihren Idolen Martin Luther King oder Nat Turner. Heute ist die Comic-Szene von New York bis Kapstadt, von Paris und Brüssel bis Kinshasa so vielstimmig und bunt wie nie zuvor. Zur Ausstellung erscheint dieses umfangreiches Katalogbuch, das die Ausstellung deutlich ausweitet: mit wesentlich mehr Exponaten und tiefgehenden Texten. Auf seine herausragende Weise bietet Dr. Alexander Braun dem Leser neue Erkenntnisse, hebt verborgene Schätze, stellt Zusammenhänge her und unterhält durch seinen eleganten Schreibstil. Ein neues Standardwerk. "Black Comics" wurde mit dem "PENG"-Preis des Münchener Comicfestivals für das beste Sekundärwerk über Comics des Jahres 2025 ausgezeichnet.

Slow-Paced Sapphic Romance
Format: Kindle
Amelia runs a rescue farm for mini-animals - cows, donkeys, Highland cows, and goats. She and the farm are struggling, but agrees to stand-in for her actress twin sister, Zoey, at a conference in Las Vegas because Zoes agrees to pay her what she would be paid and assures her nothing can go wrong since she would be in Vegas the next morning. But of course things do go wrong, very wrong. Kris Bryant’s latest book moves along at a leisurely pace, but has all the elements her readers expect from her books - well-developed main characters and secondary characters, including the animals on the rescue farm. The storyline is pretty much like all sapphic romances - girl gets girl, girl loses girl, girl gets girl back, and they live happily ever after. However, Bryant has added a few unexpected twists, including a nasty bad guy, that keep the book interesting and doesn’t bog the book down in angst and/boredom. If you are a fan of Kris Bryant, you will undoubtedly enjoy this book. If this is your book by this author, you will probably want to pick up a few of her earlier books to explore the talents of a gifted author. My thanks to Bold Stroke Books for an e-ARC.

Good Read
Format: Kindle
I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review. Amelia needs the money for Mizzou Moos, a mini highland cow rescue that she owns so she agrees to step in for her twin sister Zoey who can be at two places at once they did before what could go wrong. Amelia meets Lindsay who is a PA what shocking to Lindsay is her sudden attraction to Zoey when she learn the truth it’s becomes a slow burn between Amelia and Lindsay. I find it very funny with Zoey costars who couldn’t tell the difference when they spend a lot of time together because they both are different and it’s shows. Cute read some angst and can’t go wrong with animals in the story.

Loved
Format: Kindle
This story had me hooked from just the first few chapters. I literally could not put it down, I love a good forbidden love story and this was just *chefs kiss*. I could feel the chemistry between Ana and Rachel from the moment they met. Their conversations are so well written, I loved the banter between them both. The drama throughout the book had me saying "just one more chapter before I take a break". I appreciated that you can tell that the author was knowledgeable about both of the main characters profession and religion and that the book took a focus on recognizing the characters differences and showing Ana take the time to learn about Rachel's religion. That was such a great touch that I loved. The only reason that I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is that the resolution of the drama and story seemed a bit anticlimactic. There was all this tension from secrets kept that once they came out both characters seemed to move on and get their happily ever after. Overall, I loved this book and its characters. I definitely will be picking up any book that this author puts out!

Amazing read!
Format: Kindle
I loved this book so much! I might be a little biased because I loved the first one so much and I’ve been dying for Ana to get happy ending ever since, but it was definitely a good book all around. Ana and Rachel were absolutely perfect for each other. They have the kind of opposing personalities that fit together like a puzzle. Where Rachel was a little more reserved and polished, Ana was more outgoing and messy. They didn’t clash, they completed each other. I’m not going to lie, love that they’re a doctor and a lawyer because they’re giving sapphic power couple. I also loved all of the supportive family members and best friends in this book. Stella and Charlotte were super cute and I hope we get to see them again in a later book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an opposites attract, doctor/lawyer romance. This is the second book that I’ve read from Morgan and it seems like she doesn’t miss.
