CBS News; Marvel Comics editor-in-chief on company's diversity push, using a Japanese pen name
""We're 100 percent committed to diversity...Marvel is the world
outside your window and we want not only our characters but our creative
talent to reflect that world and it hasn't been an easy road to be
honest with you. Going back to the 60s when Marvel were created it was
created by a number of white men here in New York City who were working
in our studio… But now, we do not have any artists that work in Marvel.
All our writers and artists work -- are freelancers that live around the
world so our talent base has diversified almost more quickly than our
character base has."
One of the people in charge of making Marvel
more inclusive is vice president of content and character development
Sana Amanat. She created Kamala Khan -- Marvel's first Muslim superhero
-- who helped sell more than half a million Ms. Marvel books to date."
