Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A set of original comic book splash pages for pages 2 and 3 of Brotherman No. 5 illustrated by Dawud Anyabwile. The pages form one large image and are taped together by white adhesive tape on the back of the sheets of paper. The black and white drawing is of a street scene in front of Big City Courthouse. It depicts a large crowd of people in front of the courthouse with additional buildings in the background. The crowd consists of reporters, police officers and civilians. Several speech bubbles are above people’s heads in the crowd. Several news and police vehicles are also in front of the courthouse. Written in black ink across the top is “ERUPTiON!” Both pages are signed and inscribed on the back.
