The comic book giant, Marvel, is releasing a new anthology dedicated to Indigenous superheroes, all produced by Indigenous artists and writers. In addition to giving new story lines to names like Echo and Dani Moonstar, the project in the Marvel Voices series intends to correct some of the mistakes of previous non-Native led efforts that relied on offensive stereotypes and inauthentic character development. Jeffrey Veregge (Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe) curates the new volume set to coincide with Native American History Month. Veregge and others from the project will talk about the growing momentum for authentic Native comic book characters.
Guests:
Dr. Lee Francis IV (Pueblo of Laguna) – CEO and founder of Native Realities and director of IndigiPopX
Jeffrey Veregge (Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe) – artists and writer
Weshoyot Alvitre (Tongva) – comic book artist and illustrator
