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.
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.
