The first South African comic book comic book to be made available at a major retailer is now available in Exclusive books nation wide and we are more than excited.
Kwezi, created by illustrator Loyiso Mkize, centres around a 19-year-old boy who discovers that he is gifted with superpowers which in turn shifts his entire life away from the normal day-to-day life of a teenager. Kwezi, which mean ‘star’ in Zulu and Xhosa, likes girls and fashion, deals with local issues, makes refrences to local jokes and uses slang that rings true to the streets of Jozi. Set in the City of Gold, this comic book’s South African context makes it easy for locals to relate to the characters.
We are on the way to get our copy, are you?
