Entirely by creators of color, EXCELLENCE is a deeply personal story that channels and reflects the many experiences and emotions of Black people everywhere, while surrounding them with magic and intrigue. We are overjoyed to bring you this incredible story as well as exclusive bonus content in a deluxe 296-page hardcover!

Khary Randolph is one of the most celebrated, prolific illustrators in modern comics. The inherent style, dynamism, and power of his razor sharp linework is a perfect amalgamation of his lifelong love of comics, animation, video games, and real hip-hop. His art has appeared on countless comic book covers, been turned into action figures, and inspired the gallery exhibition BLACK/EXCELLENCE in NYC. He reps Brooklyn and Boston of all places (he was born there), which explains a love for Boston-area sports teams, which is the main thing most people find questionable about him. He's also exceedingly modest, so Brandon wrote this bio on his behalf.
