Last year, I posted about a Black superhero so obscure I could find no reference to him, who had appeared just after the generally noted "first Black superhero" and lasted just two comic strip appearances. Turns out, the character is older and lasted longer than I had first realized.

I found a reference to "the story for issues 4 to 8", so it may be that it's a single incomplete tale. (I've seen images of a TPB, but hadn't seen the publisher mentioned.)

Yes. It is handled by the same bureau that handled tobacco and firearms.

Seems a little odd that they're pushing this as a 4 issue miniseries when there were 7 issues of the original run, but I guess they want to recreate the Australian collection and then maybe return.

I realized that if I ever start to crowdfund something, I'd come up with a hashtag for the campaign.... not so people could follow it, but so they could mute it.

If they've debunked his work, oughtn't he spend his time rebunking it? He will get farther making sure his work is sufficiently bunked rather than than with this ridiculous "law"suit.

Either... but even when I start with a title, it may disappear as I figure the book out.
