ENG 285: Comics and Graphic Novels

Black Girl Nerds is an online publication and multimedia space that is the intersection of geek culture and Black feminism. I named this site Black Girl Nerds because the concept of Black women as geeky-dorky beings is somewhat of an anomaly. It’s against the order of things in the “Black Girl” world.

Comadres y Comics began as an idea when, as a comic retailer, Kristen was asked by a customer to recommend comic books with Latinx characters and discovered that she was hard pressed to find more than a handful that were known to mainstream story lines.
