The Importance of Johnny Do
(Everything in this post is based on my personal opinions.)
This is Johnny Do, a Marvel character most have never heard of since he’s only in 6 issues (#27-32) of a short-run series called “Psi-Force” (Earth-148611). Why is he important? Because he’s an unusually well portrayed autistic character from 1989.
Back in 1989, autism wasn’t usually shown in media and although comics wasn’t as mainstream as it is today, this is a Marvel comics and they were already a well-established comics publisher. The fact that they even allowed an autistic character to be a main character of a group for 6 issues is quite amazing. But, let’s put that aside for now, because a big company creating an autistic character isn’t good just on itself.
WARNING: The series is still from the 80′s and does contain racism and ableism, and also have quite a few scenes that might be triggering.
