In Episode 8 we cover the early Afrofuturist novel Black Empire. The plot is essentially, what would it be like to have Marvel's Killmonger/A James Bond Supervillain as your boss. The book is a collection of two major serials stories from the 1930s compiled in the 1990s into novel format. It follows newspaper man Carl Slater, who, is kidnapped by Dr. Belsidus in the very first chapter after witnessing a murder. Dr. Belsidus then enlists him in his plot for the destruction of white empires like Italy, Brittan, and France, and the conquest of Africa to build a Black Empire.
