A Black doctor was the first to do a then-radical surgical procedure that changed medical history!
...and this is his story!
Illustrated by Norman Nodel, this story is from the never-reprinted Classics Illustrated #169 (1969), subtitled Negro Americans: the Early Years!
Dr Williams is on the cover (also by Norman Nodel) along with Harriet Tubman, Booker T Washington and other historical Black figures...
...though, sadly, he's still the least famous of all of them...and the smallest one on the cover!
Curiously, this was the final issue of the legendary title's original run!
We can only speculate as to why...
