WHAT IS PEEP GAME COMIX ?
PeepGameComix.com is an online comic book shop dedicated to Black-themed comic books. We showcase the work of African American creators (authors, artists, publishers) as well as international creators of the African Diaspora.
Peep Game Comix was created by comic book enthusiast and graphic designer Imani Lateef in 2013. Imani created Peep Game Comix to meet the needs of Black comic book consumers, like himself, who eagerly want to support Black comic book creators and their creations 24/7, 365 days a year.
OUR EVENTS
Peep Game Comix and The Toledo Public Library are sponsors of The Glass City Black Comix Festival (#GCBC). In partnership with the Toledo Lucas County Public Library, GCBC celebrates and supports black comic book creators from around the world in their effort to tell compelling, uplifting, and fantastic stories. The Festival aims to educate all comic book fans about the amazing work available by Black Comic Artists and spread the word that all audiences deserve representation and to be present as subjects in the comic arts and popular culture.
