* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelfood_McSpade Angelfood McSpade]], one of Creator/RobertCrumb's most notorious creations, may be the trope codifier, being a black woman with large exposed breasts, large buttocks, and almost no clothing save for some jewelry and a skirt made from palm leaves. The narration regularly describes her voracious sexual appetite, and claims that she has to be confined to "the wilds of darkest Africa" because civilization would collapse if she were allowed to run free. Crump had a ParodyRetcon in 2004 claiming she was a criticism of the stereotype, but the fact that he retired her in the 1970s really didn't help.
* ''Comicbook/Voodoo2011'' inspired some controversy for this. On the one hand, it's Creator/DCComics' first series to star a black woman! On the other, she's a stripper and that's how the first issue opens. The second issue has her [[BedTrick raping someone]].
