About The Book

Celebrate Black History in Comics with this spotlight collected set from ABLAZE! Featuring two titles - Friday Foster: The Sunday Strips and Hendrix: Electric Requiem - that reflect significant moments and figures in Black American History.

Friday Foster features the story of a former nightclub "camera bunny" turned photographer's assistant turned fashion model. With an innate inclination to help others and a natural beauty that makes her a magnet for men, Friday often finds herself in some very sticky situations and world-class adventures. The strip is generally cited as the first mainstream (i.e. nationally syndicated) comic strip starring a Black woman in the title role and features a mixture of adventure and romance, often with social commentary thrown in for good measure.
