As I sit and reflect on the honor
and privilege that I have had to work
on this history making Fan Short of
Marvel Comics “ The Night Thrasher”
RAVE feat Eric Lane I have to admit I
am overwhelmed.
First being a product of the mean
streets of the Wild Wild 100’s I never
saw shooting like this in this since
of the word lol. Movie productions
where unheard of let alone a Black
Super Hero that was Marvel comics
version of THE BATMAN.
I only saw these type of productions
on Tv. My schools on the south side
had no curriculum, for this the stores
never sold equipment for this and the
corners damn sure did not talk about
these production goals and dreams. So
when I reflect on this individual that
had a similar community upbringing
and chose to break the mold I cannot
feel anything but honor to bring this
great man, director and friend once
again to the pages of this publication.
I celebrate this man for he shows
us of what we all can become when
we focus and dedicate our energy to
greatness and see beyond the box we
are confined in.
One day we shall see during black history month movies not of one sliver
of time of our people as slaves but see
the greatness of our rich history and
culture and movies like 300 with all its
special effects and great Cinematography being used for productions of history makers such as Akhenaton, Askia
The Great, Almamy Suluku, Ahmed
Baba,Yared, Askia, Bello, Sundiata,
Imhotep, Menelik lol just a couple of
suggestions for those other directors
and producers who are reading this.
As Lawrence moves into the pages of
history of Chicago, he brings to the
pages that from very little, greatness
can be produced. See his work in Villains a Sci f
