FRIDAY FOSTER

"Friday Foster was an American newspaper comic strip, created and written by Jim Lawrence, who was inspired when he saw Donyale Luna on television.

After two years of development, the strip was illustrated by Spanish cartoonist Jorge Longarón and syndicated by the Chicago Tribune Syndicate. The strip focused on the glamorous life of its title character, a former fashion model who became an assistant to a top fashion photographer, as described by comics historian Dave Karlen:

Starting out as an assistant to high-fashion photographer Shawn North, Friday after learning the ropes, eventually moved in front of the camera to become a world traveling supermodel leaving her troubled life in Harlem behind her. Early on, Lawrence's story lines had a harder edge showing the contrast of Friday's family with her street-wise brother trying to accept her newfound success in the world of magazine publishing. But soon its episodes changed focus to showcase more soap-opera thrills of romance and travel for the gorgeous African-American. Hong Kong, Paris, London, and even Africa were all shown with equal flair from the detailed artistic masterpieces produced by Longarón from his home in Barcelona.[1]

The first syndicated comic strip to feature an African-American woman in its lead role, Friday Foster debuted in 1970 and ran in newspapers until 1974.[2] Dell Comics published a single issue of a Friday Foster comic book (October 1972), written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Jack Sparling.

In 1975, Friday Foster was adapted into a blaxploitation feature film of the same name, starring Pam Grier." Wikipedia

Review: Friday Foster: The Sunday Strips

Friday Foster: The Sunday Strips is what casual and diehard fans of the comic strip need to have in their library. #Comics ComicBooks

The 1970s were full of films that have forever changed how we view stories. This was the era of Spielberg and Coppola, when they were still young men, and Kubrick when he was already a master behind the camera. It was often referred to as an era of outcasts, people who would not normally be seen. This generalization is interesting, because this was also when the “Blaxploitation era” of films…
