Black Superheroes Matter

Brian Lambert (@brian_wycoff_lambert) Brian joins us on the Black Superheroes Matter Podcast. Brian Joseph Lambert is the award-winning, lead contributing writer at Wingless Entertainment. He specializes in bringing diversity to action/adventure, fantasy and sci-fi worlds. Brian's current projects include “WAR FOR THE SWORD- THE CHRUSION SAGA BOOK 2”, a CG animated feature film entitled, “RUBICON “and “JUSTICE- THE FALL”, an ongoing series for WINGLESS COMICS, a division of Wingless Entertainment.  Brian Lambert and I discuss some of the ways COVID-19 has impacted what “normal” means and how creating art can be a form of therapy during times like these.  “One of my favorite experiences is at conventions when I see kids and they’re a little shy but they want to come and talk to you or see the poster or ask you stuff or ask “how do I get into it” or “hey should I keep writing?” It’s great to be able to talk to them and say “yes you should, I want to see you behind this table” because you can see a light in their eyes, you know, the same one that somebody saw in yours when they were talking to you about it.

Kelvin Blackman (@Legacycomics360) Kelvin joins us on the Black Superheroes Matter Podcast. Kelvin is the owner and founder of Royal Gamez, making comic books, prints, as well as games suited for royalty.  Kelvin aims to entertain and maybe even enlighten with royal products. Oftentimes, the global pandemic feels like something out of a comic book. Kelvin Blackman, the self funded Royal Entertainment business owner and founder talks about writing stories, illustrating comic books, and coding for video games.   He understands Black artists need more funding while creating in capitalism and are often limited to the resources they have available to them which limits their ability to produce work that illustrates all of their ideas. “I started looking at games a little differently. Whenever I played a game I started to analyze it and wonder “how did they do that?, how did they make that happen? what’s going on?”

Ronnie Dukes is the artist for DUKEScomics (@DUKESCOMICS ). He was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois.

His first art apprenticeship was in fashion design through Gallery 37 in Chicago where he learned apparel construction and hat design.
