Whitewash
:: Posted by Bryan @ 3/20/2007 06:11:00 AM Our buddy, journo Brad Mackay, had a piece about black superheroes in the Star on Sunday. Turns out the editors massaged the piece a bit and inserted a few things (like an impromptu paragraph about female superheroes, etc.). The mini-debacle is documented at Mackay's new blog, The Cultural Magpie where the original version of the article is now posted. The whole thing is a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of the creation of a newspaper feature.
The only thing Brad didn't touch on the article was the few instances of black comics crossing over into film and video: Steel, Static, and Black Lightning at least have had some form of second life in movies and tv, I think...Labels: blogosphere, floppies, people, publishing, U.S. superhero franchises
