Have I Ever Tried Publishers In Africa?




Someone asked me that question and the reply is simple. The last two times the people involved were crooks pure.  this is comics so crooks are all over the place! However, there was an interesting article on Marketplace over a year ago.

There are a good few Africa based heroes in Black Tower and some popped up in Return of the Gods and again in The Green Skies not to mention various other BTCG publications. The point is that unless a publisher contacts me it is pointless my chasing around looking for them and it would be nice to see African countries have home made comics emerge more -Mighty Man in South Africa was a long time ago.  And Power Man was, of course, a British product packaged for Nigeria.

Still -comics is comics and if you want to earn money....
