Make way Black Panther! A whole new crop of African superheroes soon is set to head to audiences, courtesy of Africa’s largest independent comic book publisher.
Comic Republic, distributors of “Guardian Prime” and “Ndoli,” has signed a production deal with Emagine Content and JackieBoy Entertainment that will see many of the African superhero stories in its catalog adapted for film and television.
Created in 2013, the company’s goals are to “shape the perception of the African continent through the high-quality art we create for consumers around the world,” and “to portray a positive global influence of Africa and negate previous misconceptions.”

They come home every afternoon which gives us the opportunity to make sure everyone is happy and well, Ms Tilling, 45, said. The couple took ownership of the Cobargo Wildlife Sanctuary on the NSW south coast a month before the devastating bushfires in December razed everything.
