Dwayne McDuffie was a writer for both comic books and animation. He was smart, kind, and really funny. This video looks at his work and his techniques to see how he addressed race head-on while simultaneously making his characters diverse and engaging. From Damage Control to Deathlok at Marvel to his work co-founding Milestone Comics with popular characters like Static and Icon. From his work in animation on Static Shock to Justice League. Dwayne was a unique and great voice who is sadly no longer with us, but his work still is and deserves to be celebrated.
