ABLAZE BLACK HISTORY COLLECTED SET #1 (9781684974986)

: 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.
Hendrix: Electric Requiem is a compelling trip into the mind and world of Jimi Hendrix. Electric Requiem is an exhilarating ride, from Jimi's difficult beginnings in the South, plagued by racism, through his global stardom and triumph at Woodstock and the excessive lifestyle of a rockstar. A rockstar who, even with all his experiences, never forgot where he came from.
