 Ethnic diversity is worming its way into the panels of superhero comic books and into the legions of people who love them, judging by the "diversity" of superheroes, storm troopers and anime Samurai who descended 1 on midtown Manhattan for the New York Comic Con 2. The throng 3 of comics fans clad in homemade tributes to their favorite characters now includes heroes of color such as Mr. Terrific, Static Shock and Black Panther.


A Stan Lee creation who first appeared in 1966, Black Panther is the mainstream 4 comics world's first black superhero.
Aiming to capitalize on the changing demographics of comic book fans, author Reggie Hudlin has been penning "Black Panther" as a side gig, bringing a racial sensibility to Marvel 5 Comics that is helping 6 to attract a more diverse audience.
"There's these other people who don't come into the comic book store, who come into it now because of Black Panther," boasts Hudlin.
And when it comes to race in comics, the big questions are not as other-worldly as one might think. Even at Comic Con, post-racialism rears its nagging 7, pleading head. One middle-aged 8 man tells Hudlin how much he liked Black Panther as a kid, "because he wasn't just another black guy. You know, when you put on a mask, you don't have skin color, you're just a hero like everybody else."
