African comic Lovers


A picture explains better than words. Well, it's true, not just because I said it was true but 
because it is true.


A few years prior, I saw that there was an ever-increasing number of realistic books, explicitly 
from African comic authors and illustrators being released. What especially grabbed my eye 
was the legitimate composition that streamed next to each other with the drawings/representations.
By real composition, I imply that the voice of the author was African. These were Africans 
recounting to their accounts, not simply trusting that a Westerner will recount to their accounts 
with the inclination and generalizations that we have generally expected from such essayists. 
These were crisp, unique and brilliant. What's more, the pattern has proceeded. An ever-increasing 
number of realistic comic books in Nigeria is being composed now than previously. 

I am sharing a few of them with you:

Aya de Yopougon 

The absolute first realistic novel I experienced was the honor winning Aya de Yopougon using 
African Digital Art. Composed by Marguerite Abouet, who is from Cote d'Ivoire and shown by 
her French spouse, Clement Oubrerie, Aya won the Best First Album at the Angouleme 
International Comics Festival in 2006. 

June 12, 1993: Annulment by Abraham Oshoko 

Having survived the political uprisings during the '90s in Nigeria, I was enjoyably shocked to go 
over this book. It is called June 12, 1993: Annulment and it was composed and outlined by 
Abraham Oshoko, a Nigerian. The spread alone catches the pith of the story, which includes 
three noteworthy political figures: Late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (M.K.O) Abiola, Late 
General Sani Abacha, and General Ibrahim Babangida. 

Life of Pahe 

The Life of Pahe is a self-portraying arrangement of funnies dependent on the genuine 
encounters of artist/sketch artist Patrick Essono, otherwise called "Pahe." The book spread 
above is for the primary book in the arrangement. 

That’s all for now... 

TAG Comics release new comics like Godfall, Danfo, Delta Masquerade, Dafe, Legend of 
Yasuke, Unity. In future TAG Comics will release more and more comic books based on African 
culture and according to people’s interests.
