David Phillips akaDP COMIXa Los Angeles based comic book creator who has participated at the Black Comix Day events in San Diego for the last 7 years, started drawing Black Superheroes in 1984 because he had never seen them represented in the books he read.Phillips has been drawing most of his life - since he was 9 years old but began creating comics in 1984 when he was 24 years old.His comic that came out that year, titled "Agents of S.O.U.L., rose from the ashes of the Civil Rights Movement," he said. It mixed a historical retelling of the Black community's struggle to secure equal rights along with some fiction near the end. In the comic book series Agents of S.O.U.L. the protagonist who aren't gifted with superpowers have the challenge of overcoming the villains' that do, using math, science and technology. For David, comic books are an ideal medium to "entertain and subliminally educate at the same time."
