Published in 2003Written by Robert MoralesArt by Kyle Bakertop movies
Finding Nemo, Pirates of the Carribean, Lord of the Rings, X2 Bruce Almighty, ELF, Terminator 3, HULK, DareDevilTop TV - CSI, American Idol, Friends, ERTruth: Red, White & Black is a seven-issue comic book limited series written by Robert Morales, drawn by Kyle Baker and published by Marvel Comics. The series focuses on Isaiah Bradley, one of 300 African American soldiers experimented on by the US Army in an attempt to create super soldiers.
The original concept for the character came from an offhand comment by Marvel's publisher, Bill Jemas.[1] Axel Alonso was taken by the idea "inherent of politics of wrapping a Black man in red, white, and blue" and "a larger story ... a metaphor of America itself"; he also immediately thought of the Tuskegee Study.[1] In a meeting involving Joe Quesada,[2] Alonso proceeded to pitch the idea to Robert Morales who was brought in to write the story create the supporting cast, and the ending.[1] The idea of an African American Captain America made Morales laugh, but, once he heard the premise, he found it depressing.[1] He says he "wrote a proposal that was so staggeringly depressing I was certain they'd turn it down. But they didn't."[2]Morales originally envisioned the character as a scientist who experimented on himself, a reference to Silver Age scientists Reed Richards and Bruce Banner; however, Marvel wanted a more explicit reference to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.[1] Morales was able to push through an ending in which Bradley suffered brain damage, a reference to Muhammad Ali that gave the character a tragic ending.[1] Morales performed extensive research into the time period, which he balanced with editorial suggestions.[1] Bradley's strong marriage came from an unsuccessful Luke Cage proposal by Brian Azzarello.
Published from January 2003 to July 2003, the series Truth: Red, White & Black is composed of seven comics: "The Future", "The Basics", "The Passage", "The Cut", "The Math", "The Whitewash" and "The Blackvine".
The trade paperback collecting the series was published in February 2004 and the hardcover in 2009. The book version of Truth contains Morales's appendix in which he clarifies myth, history and imagination and provides sources for his story.[3]

West Coast Avengers issues 42-50Published in 1989Written and drawn by John ByrneIt's battles, betrayals and the bizarre as only Byrne could bring you! Watch as one of comicdom's most recognizable talents remakes the West Coast Avengers, starting with the capture and dismantling of the Vision! As secrets about the synthezoid come to light, the Whackos are determined to get their teammate back, safe and sound -but what happens when the Vision they recover isn' the Vision they remember? And most importantly, how will this shocking change affect the Vision and the Scarlet Witch' marriage...and family?
Who is the all-white Vision? In an incredible arc by writer and artist John Byrne, Vision, the manmade mold of Ultron, Wonder Man, or (maybe) the original Human Torch, is kidnapped, disassembled, and reprogrammed. This unwitting makeover came at the hands of an organization called Vigilance, a watch agency that aimed to restore world order by wiping the slate clean. The red and green synthezoid that we knew and loved was forever changed in “Vision Quest,” running through WEST COAST AVEGERS (1985) #42-45. Although, the ramifications of the “White Vision’s” transformation played out in the comics for well over a year, and was considered the first unraveling in his marriage to Scarlet Witch. This storyline also precipitated the shocking reveal behind the true nature of Vision’s children with Wanda Maximoff.
