Did you know that back in 1947, a journalist named Orrin C. Evans and his brother, George J. Evans Jr., made history by launching All Negro Comics Inc. in Philadelphia? It was the first Black-owned comic book publishing company in the U.S.! Orrin, often called the father of Black comic books, was on a mission—he wanted to give Black readers heroes that actually represented them, not the harmful stereotypes like Ebony White or Whitewash Jones (yep, that was actually a Captain America sidekick). Their work paved the way for better representation in comics, proving that heroes come in all shades! #blackhistory

As a publisher, we review hundreds of submissions, and there’s always one that stands out. Epitaph was a story that spoke to the soul. Sometimes it’s not about going home again, but about making a place feel like home once more. With 19 days left, funding is on the horizon. Join us and help spread the word!

Congratulations to all winners and nominees. Well deserved! Huge shoutout to Nigel Lynch @piratemonkeys76 and his entire team on an amazing story, series, and character. Here’s to more amazing books and stories to come. @ecbacc@beyondpublishingcaribbean@wiseacrecomics
As we continue to look for ways to get books into the hands our readers, I’m often reminded of home. I’m constantly pushing the envelope on how we can expand our reach while also uplifting communities. There’s no better place to introduce Wise Pods than in my hometown of Hazlehurst Mississippi.
Every once in a while, an opportunity presents itself to help mold dreams into reality. DeMario Hill has long supported the indie community, and now he finds himself stepping into the role of creator. When Paige Alfred reached out to ask if this was a series I’d consider bringing into the fold, I didn’t hesitate.
As we close out this latest round of submissions, Osmo completes an impressive lineup that continues to expand the House of Wise portfolio. Let’s just say I’m excited for the future. We’re honored to work alongside Demario and his team as we help bring his vision to life.
Welcome to the house family, DeMario! #wiseacrecomics #houseofwise #osmo
Every year, we open a new round of submissions with the goal of crafting a diverse slate of stories, collaborating with and uplifting creators, and showcasing their work through unique avenues such as crowdfunding, distribution, and direct-to-consumer platforms.
That mission has helped usher in a new wave of indie comics… stories that bring forth new and original stories. Today, I’m proud to introduce and welcome the newest members of the House Family. @nowayjosecardenas@topher_tyme@movix_comicsuniverse12@jassim4manga
