"Black Comics" by Alexander Braun is an insightful non-fiction book that deals with colonial history and its representation in comics. In Western democracies, particularly in Germany, there is an increasing questioning of one's own colonial past. The book highlights the often painful and inhumane aspects of this history, which have long been obscured by a romanticized perspective. Braun analyzes how comics, as cultural products, reflect societal norms and prejudices, offering both critical and ambivalent viewpoints. One example is the examination of Hergé's "Tintin in the Congo," which became popular despite its problematic portrayal of Africa. The book demonstrates that the engagement with colonial themes in comic culture is complex and multifaceted. It is an important contribution to the discussion about racism, colonialism, and the role of media in society.
