The Temporal Tenth Has Funded!

We are thrilled to celebrate that TEMPORAL TENTH Comic #1 has officially been funded on Kickstarter! Thanks to the support of an amazing 170 backers, this visionary project surpassed its goal—bringing to life a bold new comic that intertwines Black history, HBCU culture, and time-traveling adventure.

Black History & HBCUs meets Dr. Who! This isn’t just another comic—it’s a tribute to the brilliant minds, innovators, and communities that have shaped history. From legendary Black scientists to lesser-told stories of achievement and resilience, Temporal Tenth invites readers on a thrilling journey through time, celebrating who we are and where we come from with heart, curiosity, and imagination.This milestone is more than a campaign goal reached—it’s a powerful affirmation that stories rooted in Black history, imagination, and futurism resonate deeply with readers who are hungry for something bold, meaningful, and transformative.
