Charlamagne Tha God is an American radio host, television personality, author, and media executive. He rose to prominence co-hosting the nationally syndicated hip-hop morning show The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 (iHeartRadio) alongside DJ Envy and others, known for candid, often controversial interviews with celebrities, musicians, and politicians. He has hosted TV programs like Hell of a Week with Charlamagne tha God, appeared on MTV2's Uncommon Sense, and founded the Black Effect Podcast Network. His stated goal when this book was first crowdfunded in 2024 was to shine a spotlight on the wealth of Black talent working in comic books and graphic novels and that "content producers across publishing and Hollywood have consistently underestimated the level of Black fandom around key comic franchises and characters… I've always been a huge fan of comic books. Listen to any hip hop record, man. I'm a huge Wu-Tang fan. They've always referenced so many comic books." And he also got a Wolverine tattoo when he was sixteen…
