The @comicsncolor.bsky.social festival & Tony Davis, owner of the Million Year Picnic comic shop, are featured -- along with several other creators and organizers -- in an article in the Boston Globe!

Screenshot from The Boston Globe shows a picture of a Black woman in a costume, smiling. The caption reads, "Zahirah Nur Truth at the Boston Comics in Color Festival, held at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston. JONATHAN WIGGS/GLOBE STAFF" The rest of the image is the headline and beginning of the article.

Headline: 'Comics have always been about community.' Black voices find space at Comics in Color.

Over 200 people attended Boston's sixth annual "Comics in Color Festival," which highlighted the work of Black artists in an art form where they have traditionally been underrepresented.

When Anthony Davis was growing up in the 1970s, he struggled to find comic books with characters who looked like him.
