"I have always thought that minorities were underserved in comics.
I've made a concious effort to include and create them in my stories : Brother Voodoo, The Falcon and Blade come to mind.
In the past twenty years or so, I've been mindful that the disabled need that very same attention. I still feel they are not prominent enough but there has been progress.
Of course, going way back, one of the interesting aspects for me portraying DareDevil for Marvel Comics was he was blind. It was a challenging and gratifying experience to meet.
Your exibition "Out of Sequence:Under Represented Voices in American Comics" is inspired!
Best Wishes,
Gene Colan
