Behind Hollywood is an endless book of stories that aren’t told often if at all. Stories that show us who we are, where we come from, and what we can be. Stories with characters that have stood the test of time, teaching every generation their lessons in new ways.⁣ ⁣ This is one of those stories from that book. A tale so tall, its impact has shaped American mythology.⁣ ⁣ Before the Supermans and Black Panthers, stories of legends traveled from one coast to the next. Stories of hope, courage, and perseverance. And one of those is the story of a man by the name of John Henry—AND WE'RE GOING TO TELL THE HELL OUT OF IT. ✨⁣ ⁣ I’m excited to get back in the game with this one, but even more excited to join the many who came before us to keep his story in circulation. ⁣ ⁣ Go to @maykestudios for story and character details. I’ll mainly talk about this project here from the perspective of being the studio’s Founder, the story’s Author, and how the healing I've been doing got me ready for this moment.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #JohnHenry #BlackSuperheroes #BlackFantasy #Folktale #BlackStories #MaykeStudios #GraeWilliams
