Title: Black Lightning
Post by: Gangbuster on September 14, 2006, 02:00:27 PM
So far, we have a stub article for Black Lightning himself... but no article for Suicide Slum, or any of the poorer areas of Metropolis, except for Little Africa (http://superman.nu/wiki/index.php/Little_Africa).

Black Lightning appeared in one issue of DC Comics Presents and a run in World's Finest. But the bulk of his activities and origin were in his own series, which lasted for 12 issues (one unpublished until later.) The entire series took place in Metropolis, and while not all involved Superman, his adventures would help better define Metropolis itself.

I therefore nominate the "Black Lightning" series to be canonized in Supermanica. While I don't yet have the series, I'd be willing to get it and write the entries. Looking forward, along with the really weird Dahr-Nel saga, this will give us enough articles for Black History Month features.

Thoughts?
