Thanks to Blake Bell’s super Best of/Most of site for the heads-up about an interesting art show, Other Heroes, debuting next week at Jackson State University in Jackson, Miss., featuring some of the who’s who among African American comics creators, characters and archetypes. Among the familiar creators featured in the exhibition: Kyle Baker, Denys Cowan, Keith Knight, Jackie Ormes, Brian Stelfreeze, Lance Tooks and Trevor Von Eeden.
Check out Eye Trauma Comix for a full list of creators for the Other Heroes show as well as preliminary information about OUT OF SEQUENCE: Underrepresented Voices in American Comics, a fall 2008 exhibition at the University of Illinois.

I wish I could make it to Missisippi. “Other Heroes” looks like an impressive exhibit.
BTW, the exhibit’s curator John Jennings just posted some sample artwork from the show. Just click the link and scroll down to the last post:

Hi. I’m Damian, co-curator of Other Heroes.
Just wanted to mention that the catalog for the show is available for sale at http://lulu.com/content/737106
All of our profits from the sale go to Scholarship America for the charity’s Disaster Relief Fund, helping low income Gulf Coast students seek post-secondary education. We’ve got a preface by Dwayne McDuffie, and articles by the curators (John and I), RC Harvey, Alex Simmons, Turtel Onli, Nancy Goldstein, and William H. Foster III.
My intro comic to the catalog is online at:
