The African superhero universe is set to widen in South Africa.
Kwezi, which means "star" in Xhosa and Zulu, is the brainchild of
Loyiso Mkize a designer and fine artist who got his start in comics
as an illustrator for the long-running Supa Strikas soccer series.
Mkize describes Kwezi as "a coming of age story about finding one's
heritage." The comic follows a narcissistic teenage boy named Kwezi
as he discovers his superhuman abilities amid the daily hustle of
the fictional Gold City- a bustling metropolis modelled after
Johannesburg. Portrayed as a cocky anti-hero obsessed with selfies
and Twitter, Kwezi is initially fueled by the attention from his
adoring online fans, but he soon finds out that his powers come
with a cultural responsibility. To accurately reflect Kwezi's world
and that of potential readers, the comic's dialogue is peppered
with street slang and pop culture references that place the story
in a familiar context for young South Africans. The first three
issues were self-published and took three years to develop after
local publishers balked at the idea that a South African superhero
could be a successful endeavour.

Return to the Wild is an inspirational story of a rescued otter who
was raised in captivity and a family's dedication to setting him
free. His release is met with many challenges and when it is
discovered that Lazarus, a Cape Clawless Otter is afraid of water
they must find a way to help him overcome this. Conservationist
couple Brendan and Danelle assuredly tackle their task, despite the
doom-laden prophecies of critics, and succeed to teach Lazzy to
swim, hunt and survive on his own. The authors take the reader on
this personal and heart-warming journey of discovery that leads to
his freedom.
