A new and exciting super hero is coming to town, and this character is not only female, it’s also West African *whoop whoop!*.
Created by US based Nigerian, Roye Okupe (founder of Youneek Studios), ‘Malika: Queen Warrior’ will tell the story of how a fierce West African queen and military leader was able to unite her kingdom in a precolonial era.
Set in the 15th century, the graphic novel will be released in 2017 and will come in two parts; a 20 paged teaser is already out on Kickstarter!
Roye Okupe is also the creator of the 2015 hit novel series ‘E.X.O: Legend of Wale Williams’. The novel has been featured on CNN, Forbes, and the New York Times. We can’t wait to see what he’ll be working on next!
