This essay examines how Black girl narratives are finding and making space and place in the arena of comic books and television. With the rise in Black girl (super)hero protagonists on the comic book pages and adapted television shows, it is essential to explore the significance of their rising inclusion, visibility, and popularity and understand how they contribute to the discourse surrounding the next generation of heroes. Guided by an Afrofuturist, Black feminist, and intersectional framework, I discuss the progressive possibilities of popular media culture in depicting Black girlhood and adolescence. In Marvel Comics’ “RiRi Williams/Ironheart”, DC Comics’ “Naomi McDuffie”, and Boom! Studios’ “Eve”, these possibilities are evident. Blending aspects of adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, and STEM, each character offers fictional insight into the lived experiences of Black girl youth from historical, aesthetic, and expressive perspectives. Moreover, as talented and adventurous characters, their storylines, whether on the comic book pages or the television screen, reveal a necessary change to the landscape of popular media culture.

现在是我的时间了!黑人女孩在漫画书中寻找空间和位置

这篇文章探讨了黑人女孩的叙事如何在漫画书和电视的舞台上找到并创造空间和位置。随着漫画书和改编电视节目中黑人女孩(超级)英雄主角的崛起,有必要探讨她们不断提高的包容性、知名度和受欢迎程度的重要性,并了解她们如何为围绕下一代的话语做出贡献英雄。在非洲未来主义者、黑人女权主义者和交叉框架的指导下,我讨论了流行媒体文化在描绘黑人少女和青春期方面的进步可能性。在 Marvel Comics 的“RiRi Williams/Ironheart”、DC Comics 的“Naomi McDuffie”和 Boom! Studios的《夏娃》,这些可能性显而易见。融合了冒险、奇幻、科幻和 STEM 的各个方面,每个角色都从历史、美学和表现力的角度提供了对黑人女青年生活经历的虚构洞察。此外,作为有才华和冒险精神的角色,他们的故事情节,无论是在漫画书还是电视屏幕上,都揭示了流行媒体文化格局的必要变化。
