A final brackets before the fireworks begin with the end of The Perfect Pencils (sorry, David), I have thought necessary. And is that a few days (namely 21 February) died Dwayne McDuffie, writer known comics and animation series for TV.
This post is a tribute to the career of Dwayne, a good comic book writer, but also a great guy and a professional committed to his race. McDuffie was not a star writer in the style of, say, Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison and Ed Brubaker, but partly because it was not never wanted to undergo the real ups and downs that have ruled the comic book super-heroes of Marvel and DC in recent times, he wanted to tell their stories as you thought you had to be told ... and when from on high did not stop meddling and over again, changing plans and imposing even the characters who play and those who had not started the problems, as happened, for example, in the JLA. On this issue you have more information on this wonderful post Bruce.
Among his various experiences in the world of comic-book, Dwayne also launched a successful career writing for animation series, with particular emphasis on his work for shows like Static Shock, Justice League, Ben 10; series, the latter which has been widely accepted here in our country, and which you can appreciate its value as a writer when he could do things without unwanted interference.
Dwayne, who has also done work of editor (mainly for DC), besides a writer, was one of those most responsible for creating the company Milestone and most of his characters. Milestone titles published by DC Comics and really meant a risky proposal, as advocated by the publication of titles featuring basically for African American characters and other American minorities.
For if in the recent post is dedicated to Trevor Von Eeden, they played the theme of racism in American comics industry, the few existing black characters in the comic-book industry and how disappointed they ended with Trevor the industry, in the case of Dwayne McDuffie should talk about the man who did most to remedy all this and more African American characters created and / or treated throughout the history of comic-book.
For all these reasons and more, from comic art is we pay fitting tribute to a great guy, an honest man who helped to make better and interesting comic-book industry and always tried to write good comics, apart from trying, as long as he could introduce more and better black characters in Marvel and DC universes.
Our particular tribute to Dwayne McDuffie is formed by a selection of covers of comic books written by him, where, at the hands of several artists, you can see the large number of African American characters Dwayne tried.
Thanks for everything, Dwayne, rest in peace.
