Welcome to the Black Superheroes LibGuide

Welcome to the Black Superheroes LibGuide!

This guide was created by Library Studio Fellow Nasir Jean-Paul '24 and was inspired by the Black Superheroes program, a collaboration between the Davidson College Library and the Davidson Arts & Creative Engagement (DACE) Studio. It serves as a resource for anyone interested in exploring Black superheroes and Black comics and graphic novels more broadly.

Inside, you’ll first find a curated list of the Davidson College Library’s newest collection of Black Superhero Comics and Graphic Novels, followed by scholarly literature on Black comics and graphic novels for those interested in deeper academic exploration.
