Here’s an ugly little piece of comics history, discovered by Ethan Pearsoff. It’s a pro-segregationist comic book comissioned and distributed by George Wallace during his campaign for governor of Alabama. Note the complete lack of any person of color in the comic whatsoever.

“Shipping off every trouble maker backed by the NAACP”. Yep, thats the real Southern tradition

There’s an Elseworlds title that doesn’t need to happen- Superman: Red Neck. With Lex Luthor as a carpetbagger.

The words “black” and “white” don’t even really appear (at least not in reference to people.) The NAACP reference is the closest we get.

Yup… and blacks themselves didn’t appear, either.
