Barbara Brandon-Croft

Barbara Brandon-Croft became the nation's first Black woman cartoonist to cross the color line into the mainstream press in 1989 with her cartoon feature Where I'm Coming From. In 1991 Universal Press began distributing it nationally until 2005. Last year, Drawn + Quarterly published a compilation of selected strips and the story of her career. Barbara is also daughter of the late pioneer cartoonist Brumsic Brandon, Jr. creator of Luther. An exhibition of their work can be seen in STILL…Racism in America: A Retrospective in Cartoons is currently installed at UC Davis.
