Career firsts

In a 2022 Facebook post during Black History Month, Semper stated: "1. I believe I am the first black writer for TV animation, my first Scooby-Doo cartoon having premiered October 8, 1983. I was definitely the first black *staff writer* for a major animation company, having been hired by Hanna-Barbera on staff in 1982. 2. I am definitely the first black *show-runner* in TV animation. My first show for which I was the head writer/story-editor, "The Moondreamers," a Marvel Productions/Hasbro show, premiered in 1986. 3. I became the first black show-runner for a *major network* animated show when the animated "Fraggle Rock" premiered on NBC in 1987. 4. I have creatively written many of the major black super heroes like Static Shock, the black Green Lantern (in "Static Shock"), Cyborg (19 issues of the comic book), Blade (in my Spider-Man series) and others. 5. Speaking of "Static Shock" (for which I was a story-editor for two seasons, garnering one Emmy nomination), during one episode of that show which I wrote, titled "Army of Darkness", I brought more of the diverse characters from DC's groundbreaking Milestone line of comics to the TV screen than had ever been brought before or since. 6. I developed and was the head writer for the first network half-hour animated series with an all-black voice cast - "Kid 'n Play" for NBC (1990). My cast included Martin Lawrence, Tommy Davidson, and Brian Stokes Mitchell. 7. My SPIDER-MAN animated series (1994), for which I was both producer and head-writer/story editor, was nominated for an NAACP Image Award. 8. I have worked for all of the major American animation companies of my era: Hanna-Barbera, Ruby-Spears, Saban, DIC, Disney, Warner Bros., Marvel, and all of the major TV networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and even one newfangled streamer to date, Netflix. 9. The fact that I'm still working (with a major animated project to be released later this year), with a continuous career that spans forty years, makes me the longest-running black writer in TV animation history.

Can we get some of this stuff documented and put into the article? --Orange Mike | Talk 15:49, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
