Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Milestone characters were created with a 'no-cape' rule — McDuffie hated how capes looked on Black heroes, calling them 'flags of surrender.'
The 1993 Milestone launch party was held at the same hotel where Malcolm X was assassinated — a deliberate choice to claim space in Black history.
