Milestone - The Dakota Universe card set (Base Set + M1 Embossed Card) (1993, SkyBox - DC Comics) (MidnightRider)

Format : CBR/CBZ

Language : English

Description : It’s often been remarked how lily-white the world of comics has been throughout its lengthy history. In fairness, good old stapled newsprint wasn’t alone in this lack of minority representation, as its pop-fiction cousins, TV and movies, have had similar struggles. But comics seemed to be even more non-representative, a problem that has trickled down to the present day as other once under-representative mediums have integrated much more fully. Yes, there have been strides made in the past couple of decades, but it’s not easy to completely fix things when there are a number of venerable black characters with the color of their skin appended to their very names: Black Panther, Black Lightning, Black Racer, et al.

In the mid-nineties, a newly formed company called Milestone Media sought to redress this imbalance. Securing a publishing deal with DC Comics and developing their own shared world, the Dakota Universe, a group consisting primarily of African-American creators tried to tilt (or untilt) the scales. To close out Black History Month, our featured trading card set for this week is going to be the series of cards that commemorated that world.

Milestone: The Dakota Universe was put out in 1993 by SkyBox, and the 100 card set slid right into the groove of other line-wide comic book trading cards, from the DC Cosmic entries to the superb early Marvel sets to less-heralded niches like the Ultraverse product. The Dakota cards, like their kin, mainly focused on individual characters from their fictional shared geography (Dakota was the fictional Metropolis/Gotham equivalent), characters like the Iron Man-ish Armor seen on the box top above. Their design isn’t the most attractive, with muddled borders on the front and standard explanatory text on the back, but there are a few aspects that make them stand out. The first 18 cards, for instance, are somewhat unique in that they form two different murals depicting origin tales. The first of these, centered on the Superman proxy named (fittingly enough) Icon, combines a crashed ship with slavery and the Civil War:
