In the 1990’s, a Black owned comic company, Milestone Comics hit the scene and changed the landscape of the industry which had been controlled mostly by Marvel Comics and DC Comics.

The comics industry was never and equal place for Black writers and artist so it was interesting to see how 5 friends who worked in the industry as writers / artists and in the magazine industry built a brand.
