Dwayne McDuffie, RIP: Championed Diversity Among Champions; NPR, 2/23/11

Glen Weldon, NPR; Dwayne McDuffie, RIP: Championed Diversity Among Champions:

"Race was dealt with matter-of-factly, but it was dealt with.

A new generation of kids who watched McDuffie's work saw worlds full of heroes — worlds that looked a lot like their own, and heroes that looked a lot like them.

Did McDuffie's pugnaciousness on matters of diversity (read the very funny memo he wrote when, as a Marvel editor, he detected a surfeit of skateboardin' black superheroes) change superhero comics forever?"
