Biography
Believed dead by his former employers, government agent Kevin King returned home to find his old stomping grounds over-run by crime. Unable to stand idly by, he became the costumed vigilante, whom the local graffiti artists dubbed “Chocolate Thunder”.
Chocolate Thunder DEFINITELY saw print – I’ve got two issues. These specific images may not have been published – if I remember correctly that middle image was a graphic novel backstory – I did breakdowns for a good 8 pages at one point and some of the character design (the characters already existed – this was just my spin)
Yeah the original Choc Thunder book was a BrotherMan sized book – I was aligning Griot comics with that format when I put WitchDoctor out. My stated purpose was so that books would stand out or need to be in a whole different collector box entirely as Black Comics.
Black Comics isn’t just what this genre came to be called broadly or in general – this was a strategic movement of independent creators.
That third piece is Chris Herod btw – dudes an iconic artist in this sphere
Thanks for the correction Kenjji!
Corrected!
Would love to see those pages!
