Celebrating the growth as Spoof Streetz receives a record 5 award nominations

 

To everyone who has ever supported my comic book projects—

Thank you.

Every single project I’ve created has been a step off the beaten path. No traditional superheroes. No guaranteed market. Just stories that aim to be different, honest, and true to my voice.

And every time—you showed up.

That means more than I can fully put into words.

In this industry, everyone is chasing “the best.” But the truth is, there is no single “best.” What I strive for is something else—to be original, to stand out, to tell stories that feel real, bold, and unique. Your support has given me the freedom to do exactly that.

Because of you, Spoof Streetz—a project that had no clear lane as a Black humor comic—didn’t just survive… it made its mark.

Now, it’s been nominated for multiple Glyph Comics Awards, including Best Writer, Best Artist, Best Cover, Story of the Year, and Fan Favorite.

That moment belongs to all of us.

You believed in something unconventional. You supported stories that didn’t follow the rules. You helped prove that different has power.

And as a writer, that encouragement pushes me to keep going, keep growing, and keep creating without limits.

I’m grateful for you. I’m building because of you.

And we’re just getting started.

Thank you.

Why I Love Sci-Fi is an intimate, thought-provoking 75-minute documentary that explores the power, politics, and imagination of science fiction through the eyes of pioneering Black sci-fi creator and award-winning filmmaker Jeff Carroll.

Presented in an in-depth interview format, the film is guided by Nile Fortner, a respected multimedia journalist and founder of Las Olas Insider, known for his cultural reporting with the Sun-Sentinel, Miami New Times, and the Cinephellas podcast. Together, Fortner and Carroll dive deep into science fiction’s past, present, and future—unfiltered, unscripted, and unapologetic.

With a background in comedy, activism, and education, Carroll brings humor, honesty, and sharp insight to every question. A self-described political activist writer with roots in the Civil Rights movement, Carroll has coordinated justice marches with Rev. Al Sharpton and studied in Egypt and Ghana under legendary African scholars including Dr. Ben, Dr. Leonard Jeffries, and James Small. His lived experience informs his perspective on sci-fi as both escapism and resistance.

An entrepreneur since college, Carroll has represented major comedians such as Mo’Nique, Kevin Hart, Godfrey, and Michael Blackson. He recently taught 12th-grade English, using his minor in African History to teach Frankenstein and Beowulf through a culturally relevant lens. With over 25 years as a sci-fi and horror writer, six produced films, multiple comic books and novels, Why I Love Sci-Fi stands as both a personal manifesto and cultural critique.

What began as Greek letters used to engage Black audiences at an MLK march evolved into the now-iconic I Love Sci-Fi (Ψ Φ) brand—a symbol of Black imagination, futurism, and creative freedom.

Key topics include:

·       What is science fiction—and Black sci-fi?

·       Why sci-fi resonates so deeply across cultures

·       Why sci-fi has been both vital and threatening

·       How sci-fi and horror have treated Black people

·       The future challenges and possibilities of Black speculative storytelling

Bonus: What first sparked Jeff Carroll’s love for science fiction?

Why I Love Sci-Fi is more than a documentary—it’s a cultural conversation, a love letter to imagination, and a call for ownership of the future.
