The Ormes Society is an online group that promotes black women who work in the comic book industry. The organization is named after the first African-American comic artist, Jackie Ormes.

History

The Ormes Society was founded in 2007 by artist, Cheryl Lynn Eaton.{{Sfn|Jackson|2016|p=137}} Eaton was upset by the comic book industry's lack of diversity and wanted to help support black women and fans.[1] She named the organization after Jackie Ormes, a pioneer African-American comic illustrator.[2] The website for the group became a hub where comic book creators could network with one another.{{Sfn|Jackson|2016|p=137}} The site itself also acts as an archive of members' artwork.{{Sfn|Whaley|2015|p=152}}

The group ended briefly in July 2015, when Eaton felt that there was no longer a need for it.{{Sfn|Jackson|2016|p=137}} However, it was rebooted again in 2016.[3]

Members of the group have included Charlie Trotman, Carol Burrell, Afua Richardson and Alitha Martinez.[1]
