Ok, I just saw this and I want your honest opinion Yea Forums.
Would you be willing to read a comic and/or cartoon about Africa made by Africans? If so what would you like them to be about out? Slice of Life, Action, Mystery, etc.
I don't mean African-American or African-[insert western country here]. There's honestly so many of them at this point that I could point out a lot of African American characters, cartoons and comics (As a kid I remembered liking some of them).
Sure i would,if it's good and it's not about muh white debils
I would love to read something about their mythology,maybe some action and mystery.
African mythology is really weird, which is a good thing! Specifically, local South African myths always appeal to me.
I like this story about a cryptid called a Grootslang, I've seen some designs online and it's pretty interesting.
As long as it's in English or without dialogue, sure.
Yeah sure why not, if it's interesting there's no reason not to.
Yes.
I am gonna third this. I feel like African mythos could be used for some real spooky shit.
This reminds me of a project called Yohance. I love the Afro-Futurism aesthetic, and I want to see more of it.
Looks very Mignola-ish.
Can you storytime this?
Looks really cool. Afro-Futurism is pretty aesthetically pleasing.
I also remember this one book I heard while researching /int/ernational comics.
Its called Kwezi but I haven't read it yet.
I often asked my self why aren't African comics more popular though? It's a huuuge continent. Then I realized, who even talks about Africa?
I would, but the websites I go to don't seem to have it.
I'd like to read an issue before buying a digital copy.
Went to fireden and apparently, a Senegalese-French user posted a few pics, Idk if he ever story timed it though.
Mostly because there isn't really a comics industry in Africa, so most African comics are by either African-descended or recent immigrants and tend to be more I'M AN AFRICAN MAKING A COMIC rather than, Here's a comic, oh yeah, I'm also from a country in Africa.
We also see here something I did accidentally and which is done a lot by people as to push it all into just 'Africa' which is something we really shouldn't do.
As long as it's good.
I don't give a shit about background or subject matter. If it's entertaining, I'll give it a shot.
Yeah, I agree.
African comics don't really have an audience and labelling all of them as just "African" isn't really a good thing.
I just want there to really be a comic about Africa made by Africans because every comic (When it comes to black guys) has always been about African-Americans, they always seem to dominate "Black culture".
Not saying that it's a bad thing or that there aren't any other African-centric media out there (Especially in France) but I just want to see something new because I am genuinely interested in them.
I also read pic related and it comes off as... really weird, idk how to feel about it but it's very heavily African (American).
>Forgot to post image
Honestly Africa has a lot of industry that in this Century and especially going forward a lot of people could stand to make a lot of money marketing to them when parts of it become more developed
I would, if not for the fact that most publishers would demand rewrites until it is about muh white debils.
>I just want there to really be a comic about Africa made by Africans because every comic (When it comes to black guys) has always been about African-Americans, they always seem to dominate "Black culture".
Well, they are AMERICANS, so of course they want to turn everything into a culture-less gruel.
Which is a shame, since there's a lot of African-American folklore that's in dire need of exploring.
Nice
>Made by african
I am not rascist and dont care if he is african. If its a good story or a good writer/artist i dont care if he is from this country.
I like to read about other ethnic or cultural and i would read an african comic.
