We are thrilled to celebrate that TEMPORAL TENTH Comic #1: has officially been funded on Kickstarter! Thanks to the support of an amazing 170 backers, this visionary project surpassed its goal—bringing to life a bold new comic that intertwines Black history, HBCU culture, and time-traveling adventure.
Black History & HBCUs meets Dr. Who! This isn’t just another comic—it’s a tribute to the brilliant minds, innovators, and communities that have shaped history. From legendary Black scientists to lesser-told stories of achievement and resilience, Temporal Tenth invites readers on a thrilling journey through time, celebrating who we are and where we come from with heart, curiosity, and imagination.This milestone is more than a campaign goal reached—it’s a powerful affirmation that stories rooted in Black history, imagination, and futurism resonate deeply with readers who are hungry for something bold, meaningful, and transformative.
Because of the incredible support of our backers and community, Temporal Tenth is moving forward from vision to reality. This project stands at the intersection of speculative fiction, time travel, and cultural legacy—bringing Black history and the brilliance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) into a genre space where they have too often been overlooked. By blending historical depth with sci-fi adventure, Temporal Tenth challenges us to rethink who gets to travel through time, whose stories are preserved, and whose futures are imagined.
At its core, Temporal Tenth is a love letter to Black excellence across generations. It celebrates scientists, thinkers, and institutions that have shaped the past while inspiring new possibilities for the future. The success of this campaign proves that audiences are eager for narratives that are both entertaining and expansive—stories that honor heritage while boldly pushing genre boundaries.
This funding achievement would not have been possible without the trust, enthusiasm, and belief of every single supporter who shared the campaign, pledged their resources, and championed the vision. You didn’t just back a comic—you invested in representation, creativity, and the power of speculative storytelling as a tool for cultural reflection and change. Your support helps ensure that these stories are told with care, intention, and authenticity.
As Temporal Tenth moves into production, we’re energized by what comes next. From artwork to storytelling to world-building, every step forward is fueled by a community that understands the importance of seeing ourselves in the future—and in the past—through imaginative lenses. This is a win not only for the creators but for the broader comics and sci-fi communities that continue to push for inclusion, diversity, and innovation.
Thank you for believing in this journey through time. We can’t wait to share what’s next and to place Temporal Tenth Comic #1 into your hands. The timeline has shifted—and the future is brighter because of you.
