Tribe (comics)
Tribe is an American comic book published first in 1993. Created by Todd Johnson and Larry Stroman, Tribe launched as part of Image Comics' second round of titles. Tribe issue one with over one million copies sold stands as the best selling African American comic from African American creators of all time. Limited edition ivory copies of book one at the height of the series popularity sold for as much as $200.00. Axis Comics later printed two more issues (2, 3) of the series before itself going under due to financial difficulties. The final issue (0) was published by Good Comics. Publication history Tribe was a comic book about the adventures of a predominantly African-American and minority superhero group based in Brooklyn, New York. During its limited run, the plot of Tribe centered on their conflicts with a conglomerate of European and Japanese techno-pirates known as Europan, which had a mysterious connection to a power-crazed, armor-clad villain known as "Lord Deus". The final issue also featured an appearance by Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon, even positing an alternate origin for the character. Due to constant changes behind the scenes, with Stroman and Johnson switching companies, Tribe'''s release schedule was inconsistent. In
