I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would! Though written in the 1970s, the story and characters aren't too dated. This is written by a white writer, but Black Lightning/Jefferson Pierce manages to avoid most stereotypes. The same can't be said for a minor Black character who impersonates BL at one point, unfortunately.
