Answers: how is the first black superhero i all comic books?
Although there were several black characters before him, Black Panther is considered to be the first black comic book superhero who first appeared in 1965.
The first black character in all comics is believed to be Waku, Prince of the Bantu who appeared in the 1954 comic book title "Jungle Tales" from Marvel Comics' predecessor Atlas Comics.
The first African-American character that I know of is Gabriel Jones who first appeared in "Sergeant Fury and His Howling Commandos" in 1963. Since he had no special powers, he is not considered a superhero like Black Panther.
Lobo from Dell Comics is the first black character to star in his own series in 1965. He was a Western hero with no powers either, so once again he isn't considered a superhero.
The first African-American superhero is Falcon who first appeared in the pages of "Captain America" in 1969 (Black Panther is from Africa so he isn't African-American).
And as far as I know, the first black character in DC comics is the villain Black Manta who first appeared in 1967. The first black hero that I know of is Black Racer from the New Gods in 1971.
I guess it's the Black Panther for Marvel. For DC, I'm not quite sure if it's the Black Lightning.
the first black that i know that has he own book is LOBO at December 1965
In addition to what the other guy said...
The first black superhero to have his own comic book by a major company, it Luke Cage, Hero for Hire (AKA (power Man). He is also one of the few black superheroes that does not have "Black" in his name.
One of the earliest black characters in comics is Steamboat, Billy Batson's valet, who appeared in Captain Marvel comics starting in 1941. he was an attampt at reaching a black audience, but since he was drawn and written as a demeaning stereotype, the attempt backfired, and he was discontinued.
There is a great book about blacks in comics "Looking for a Face Like Mine" by Dr. William H. Foster.
