An original pencil sketch by
Vaughn Bodé, presumably from the 1960s or early 1970s, looks to be a comic book cover design related to the record
Malcolm X Talks to Young People. There is indeed a recording with this title, a talk given by Malcolm X to 37 teenagers visiting New York from McComb, Mississippi where they had been active in the Civil Rights movement. Vaughn Bodé has included a rendition of the actual album cover on the artwork, which may have been intended for a comic book tie-in. The cover shows two black children listening to a phonograph record of Malcolm X. They say, "He talkin', man" and "He talkin' to us, man"—perhaps not the most promising of cover concepts.
