Science Fiction & Fantasy
by Arley Sorg
Sheree Renée Thomas was born in Memphis, TN. The eldest child of an air force vet, she grew up on various military bases. She eventually moved to New York, where she lived for twenty years before returning to live in Memphis. She worked at genre bookstore Forbidden Planet, as well as working full-time in publishing while freelancing on the side, doing everything from writing jacket copy to proofreading and copyediting to editing.
In 2000, Time Warner published Thomas’ groundbreaking anthology
Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora under its Aspect imprint, followed by 2004’s
Suyi Davies Okungbowa, and
Christopher Chambers. Marvel.com reached out to a handful of the creators to see what these heroes mean to them! As a child, I read comic books by flashlight under the bed covers because I HAD to know how T’Challa was getting out of his latest predicament. I despaired when Killmonger showed up, because I knew the Black Panther had never REALLY beaten him. And I rejoiced when T’Challa and Monica – and then later Ororo – got a few moments of peace, love and happiness. These weren’t characters, these were my friends. And knowing that I had a chance to walk alongside my friends and perhaps even guide their adventures? It means everything to me and that little boy I used to be, reading comics by flashlight.
