All Your Racial Problems Will Soon End - The Cartoons of Charles Johnson

Years before he wrote his National Book Award–winning novel Before Charles Johnson found fame as a novelist and won the National Book Award for Taught via mail correspondence course by the comics editor Lawrence Lariar, mentored by the Reimagining the gag comic as a powerful and incendiary tool, Johnson tackled America’s mid-century afflictions--segregation, inner-city poverty, police brutality, and white supremacy--by craftily subverting stale gag tropes. He populated them with bullet-dodging Black Panthers, doubt-filled Klansmen, militant babies, self-serving politicians, and complacent suburban liberals. This collection, Johnson’s first in nearly fifty years, brings together work from across his career: college newspaper gags, selections from his books
