Onli Studio's Origins of Blanga is a dense Kirby-esque ride with three Black Power superheroes through the tripped-out realms of New Afrika. Malcolm-10, Sustah Girl and Nog simultaneously fight complicated evil that rages throughout Da Jects and threatens the Rhythmic Zone. Malcolm-10's two episodes are frenzied-action urban warfare with some sci-fi flare as Malcolm takes on a bunch of Negro-Nazis in Da Jects. 

 Sustah Girl's story, the funniest piece and also my favorite, is about her morphing from school teacher to African warrior queen and grappling with an enraged Sick Sister's aching feet and entranced legion of man-Hypnots. The story of Nog is the one most based in the Rhythmic Zone, saturated with Nubian legend and poetic visuals. It's also the clearest explaination of the passageway through the realms of the Blanga universe and the interconnectedness of its heroes. Pulpy, yet personal Onli's Blanga manages the balancing act of getting the reader wrapped up in a lot of High Weirdness while still having something to say. -EF

  Exhibition Link

Turtel Onli, the founder of the growing Black Age of Comics genre / movement will be presenting an exhibition covering 30 plus years of living in the Black Age of Comics. 

This unique ambitious exhibition links Onli's extensive line of limited edition Rhythmistic: Future-Primitif Graphic Novels and Comix with his advocacy of real diversity in terms of styles, source materials and concepts in this and related industries.

 Beyond the shallow narratives of Race, Gender, or Class, many have ripped off or righteously benefited from brilliant boldness of the Black Age. Others have been inspired by its bold truths and innovative swag. Onli is its originator and more.

 Onli has deftly manifested a line connecting openness, otherness, values, history, innovation, and standards that is rare in this world of corporate dominated derivative products and constrictive market dominance. He is often quoted for saying the Black Age of Comics is a nexus of creativity, culture and commerce. Stating that one does not have to be Black to get one's Black Age on. Sort of like eating and celebrating Mexican or Asian cuisines when those are not your culture or ethnicity.

This exciting and informative exhibition opens Jan. 26th in the Cafe' Gallery of the Logan Center For The Arts at 915 East 60th Street in Chicago. Per the University of Chicago. Closes on March 31st 2024.
