The Black Mage is a 2019 graphic novel written by one Daniel Barnes with art by D.J. Kirkland, released by Oni Press.Set in a fantasy world that slowly coming off of segregation of white and black people, the story follows the hero, Tom Token, who's been invited to the mystical school of St. Ivory Academy of Spellcraft and Sorcery, the first black student at the school in an effort to include more minorities.Tom's introduction is...a little more then awkward as the student body there haven't had much interaction of someone of another color and going off a lot of rumors. One who is willing to try to discern fact from fiction is one Lindsay Whitethorn who wishes to be his friend and know him better.However Tom didn't just come because he was accepted, he's on a mission to find out the secret hidden in the school. But likewise must contend with malicious forces whose prejudice thought process still remain.While its lead does wield magic, this has nothing to do with the trope Black Mage, which is just about mages in general regardless of race or color.

Dirty Coward: Bryce is shown to be a good fighter, but he's utterly weak-willed, going along with his father and Alexis's machinations to get their approval. When he's on the losing end, he crumples quickly.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Tom takes awhile to warm up to Lindsay, pointing out the dean of the school only started his ethical program to save face with the changing world and not out of the goodness of his heart. But eventually notes that Lindsay genuinely means well and that he likewise need to be more open-minded to people that wish to help.

Fantastic Racism: The comic deals alot with racism and prejudice as, save for Lindsay, near all of St. Ivory is prejudiced against people of color and even use the souls of black students to power their school.

comment
And the Adventure Continues: Lynch is beaten, St. Ivory is destroyed, the souls of the black students that were sacrificed are freed and the KKK chapter there is defeated (and possibly learn a lesson from all of this). Despite having made friends with Lindsay, Tom decides to continue on his journey with Jim for more adventure wherever they may take him.

Powered by a Forsaken Child: It's revealed St. Ivory is powered by the souls of black people. Tom nearly has this process done to him but luckily Henry's hammer allows him to break free from the process as well as free the other souls.
