I loved Fat Albert. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Happy New Year!
I have been a comic book fan for a very long time....I recall my first encounter with a black superhero was Marvel's Black Panther right slap dabbed in the middle of the civil rights era. Do you know how much influence the character played on the black concious. Maybr im reaching a little far ,it played on my concious. Here you had a ruler of a african country called Wakanda which was a technology mecca. The Panther was genius a ruler and magestic . Do you really know what that concept did during the Tarzan/Africa era.
