The World of Van Stone Heroes of the Last Q (HTLQ) 25th Anniversary is coming to Philadelphia Front Page News /Van Stone Facebook and Westside Weekly Newspaper: Heroes of the Last Q 25 Years Later – Blacks in Space/Reparations Social Sci-Fi Comic Strip

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Van Stone’s epic Black Studies and social sci-fi comic strip Heroes of the Last Q, Philadelphia Front Page News and Van Stone Facebook has released a visual special edition of the newspaper weekly comic strip in black and white. This includes the 3-panel strip series of multiple drawings that tell a story in sequence. There are also bonus non-sports trading cards from the 2019 Special Edition Fantasy Art Cards, a book and some posters.

Van Stone wrote a novel/cartoon in collaboration with several cartoonists and illustrators, Darius Jones and Chuck Gholston. This was in 1994 for the occasion of his 84-page paperback book, Heroes of the Last Q. Tyree Johnson, Publisher of the Westside Weekly, ran the big story.

Heroes of the Last Q or also known as HTLQ is a local franchise that revolves around a scientist and some military youth superheroes who take the lead in battle adventures against secret governments and gods on Earth and in space. The franchise started with a 1977-79 comics series and has come to include one subsequent newspaper comic strip/cartoon series, one novel, and posters and trading cards.

The letter Q is an abbreviation for the word Quirinal which means of, relating to, the world government as well as in secret, the name of the world government god worshiped in cities everywhere at Earth. Although Stone designed its book cover, its introduction and afterword, but the book didn’t get published until 1995. Meanwhile, the original story concept for the genre fiction was created as “U7” and “AC Shadow” in 1977. This was by Stone and Stone’s Philadelphia childhood friend Kevin Lofton, writer, artist, illustrator, portraitist and sketch artist. Stone is a writer who did very little drawing. In its beginning the multiple-panel strips were written on composition book paper kept as souvenirs by Lofton and then later by Lofton and Stone. The U7 strip and AC Shadow strip were collaborated on for a combined story line becoming a full-blown phenomenon that spans all different types of action-based space adventures and histories involving the Black race.

As for the comic strip itself in the paper, while many newspapers had a comics page on which many strips were collected together, all of the comics page space in the weekly newspaper was arranged to be exclusive for the HTLQ strip making Stone’s strip both a cartoon and a column. This was another first in writing and publishing for Stone. Almost all the newspaper strip illustrations were designed, laid out and inked by Stone. A strip science fiction, written and produced by Stone, the weekly story board, was based on a Black Studies theme of Blacks in space, Slavery and Reparations, which ran in Philadelphia’s Westside Weekly newspaper, and had a two-year run from January 1994 to November 1995.

Heroes of the Last Q, staring its young superheroes U7, a Black male youth, AC Shadow, another Black male youth and Shadai Chiropractra, a Black female youth, is a social Sci-Fi adventure comic strip about juveniles skilled in a variety of professions. An intergalactic government secretly warrants deadly experiments and Slavery using American Indians who are Blacks as test material.

After a space scientist intercepts a hostile message from the test victims dealing with vengeance and reparations, they seek assistance from the test victims, the super hero U7, and sidekick Shadai Chriropractra to undo the harm done as the Last Q’s on the brink of war.
