    Our Talk With Sheldon Allen!
    Sep 10 2025

    In this episode of Black Geek Energy, we sit down with comic book writer Sheldon Allen to dive into his groundbreaking work, including Crucified, Concrete Jungle, and his latest project, They Choose Violence. We explore how his stories tackle themes of social justice, privilege, and cultural identity, while pushing the boundaries of modern comics.From the dark reality of hair trafficking in Snatch to the vigilante power of HBCU besties in They Choose Violence, Sheldon brings sharp insight into how comics reflect — and challenge — the world we live in. Along the way, we talk TV, movies, anime, and even debate which Disney villain reigns supreme.This is more than a conversation about comics — it’s a celebration of Black storytelling, identity, and creativity in geek culture.
