First black hero in American comics is VOODAH created by Matt Baker, in the image of Matt Baker, by McCombs Publishing, Crown Comics #3 released mid 1945. (McComb's only title). Voodah was a feature who, though depicted black/brown toned in the very first story, by the second story became grey toned, however in the 3rd issue back to the original black/brown, some disagreement over color of the character seems evident as in the 4th issue he was grey again, eventually turning whiter to white in the following issues and is likely the reason why Baker was either taken off Voodah or he abandoned the strip. Note that Voodah was ALWAYS white on the cover. comicbookplus.com
