#BlackHistory337 is about the time between Black History Months, when many people including some Black people don't make an effort to emphasize Black History. A way to cover the rest of the year, the remaining 337 days between each 28.

For the first edition, the focus is to present the earliest Black characters in comics in the United States of America. Enjoy the list. If anyone knows the earliest Black Character in Japanese Manga or European Bande Dessinee please share. I was unable to find either but I know they exist.

• Lion Man- first black male superhero in comics, [All Negro Comics], 1947
• Lobo - First Black character to headline their own comic series [ Dell Comics], Dec. 1965 and Sept. 1966
• Black Panther - first black male superhero in Marvel, 1966
• Mal Duncan- first black male hero in DC, became Guardian, 1970
• Butterfly- name is Marian Michaels , first black female superhero , in Hell-rider which became public domain. I am thinking maybe I can do this without getting in any trouble[ skywald publications]. 1971
• Luke Cage- first black superhero in Marvel with their own comic, 1972
