GRIOT ENTERPRISES TURNS 25!

Welcome to 2024!

It started with 32-page black & white Preview Book. 25 years later, Griot Enterprises has become a vanguard of entertainment and a cornerstone of the Black Comix movement…

And, we’re just getting started.

As we turn 25, Griot is on the move. The first stop on our year-long celebration is Michigan State University Comics Forum on February 1st. We’ve got new books coming and working hard to bring our stories, and characters, to a wider audience…

That’s right. We’re going for animation, but we need your help.

How can you help? It’s simple.

Buy one of our products.

A book, t-shirt, pin, it doesn’t matter. Every little bit helps.

Here are some of the products we have to offer:

THE NEW MYTHOLOGY

The gods have chosen them to protect humanity from itself…whether humanity wants them to or not. They combat those who control the fate of the planet. Through their actions, the world would never be the same. 


The cornerstone of the Griot Enterprises brand, The Horsemen is the story of seven ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, as the gods of ancient Africa possess them.

4 PAGES 16 BARS: A VISUAL MIXTAPE

In 2015, diversity became the buzzword in the comic book industry with companies like DC and Marvel claiming to lead the charge, but merely scratching the surface of the complexity and intersection of race, culture and gender.

4 Pages 16 Bars: A Visual Mixtape is a celebration of where true diversity exists in this industry, a sampler for potential fans to enjoy unique intellectual properties, a showcase for existing and upcoming talent as well as a source guide for those fans to purchase these books. 

The scene is more diverse than Image or Dark Horse. This is visual Jazz, Rock, Funk, Hip Hop and electronic music. This is art for the people.

THE DARK KINGDOM

Enter a world where African folklore meets Two-fisted Blaxploitation action. Discover a hidden universe where deep self-hate manifests an immortal killer while a spiritual paradise falls to rebellion; where augmented super-spies save the world, the undead rule the nightlife…

And a new hero rises bringing justice to the gates of Hell.

The Dark Kingdom is the secret universe that exists in the role-playing games published by Onyx Path Publishing. Collected for the first time, experience the shadow path of The Blaxis before starting your next campaign.

COMIC BOOK EDUCATION

Comics are an art form. Sequential art is, arguably the oldest form of visual communication.

These titles, Influence: The Art of Comic Book Art and Manifesto: The Tao of Jiba Molei Anderson, delve into the tools and techniques that required to make great comics…

Class is in session!
