Black #1 – 2016 introduces a bold, high-concept series that explores race, power, and secrecy through the lens of superhero fiction. Written by Kwanza Osajyefo with eye-catching artwork by Jamal Igle, this debut issue from Black Mask Studios imagines a world where only Black people possess superpowers—and the truth has been hidden for generations.

The story centres on Kareem Jenkins, a young man gunned down by police, only to miraculously survive. As he recovers, he discovers he’s not alone—there are others like him, and a secret war is being waged in the shadows. Recruited by a clandestine group who aim to protect those with powers, Kareem must navigate a dangerous new reality where government agents, secret organisations, and his own moral compass collide.

Black #1 is powerful, provocative, and unflinching in its commentary on systemic oppression, identity, and justice. Igle’s art grounds the story in a gritty, urban realism, while Osajyefo’s script delivers emotional intensity and razor-sharp dialogue. The comic’s politically charged premise has made it a standout in the indie scene, earning acclaim for its daring narrative and social relevance.

Whether you're a collector of socially conscious comics, a fan of modern indie storytelling, or simply looking for something truly original, this is a must-have first issue that set the tone for an unforgettable series.
