Zebra Comics, the leading webcomic platform in Africa and curator of the continent’s largest collection of original comics, is proud to announce its latest collaboration with DC, part of Warner Bros. Discovery and one of the world’s largest publishers of comics and graphic novels, to develop a story for DC Comics’ upcoming hardcover anthology, Superman: The World.
This groundbreaking anthology brings together an international consortium of creators and publishers to celebrate DC’s Superman as a universal symbol of hope, justice, and resilience through diverse interpretations from around the globe.
Among the esteemed contributors to this anthology, Zebra Comics has enlisted the creative team of writer Dr. Ejob Gaius and artist E.N. Ejob to craft a unique story titled “Chariot of the Gods.” Set against the vibrant backdrop of Cameroon, in the heart of Central Africa, “Chariot of the Gods” marks a historic milestone in comics: for the first time, Superman will be reimagined in an original story tailored to a local audience, developed by an all African creative team, and woven into the rich cultural tapestry of the Bakweri tribe in the South West Region of Cameroon.
“This collaboration with DC underscores our continuous commitment to amplifying African voices in the global comic book industry,” stated E.N. Ejob, CEO of Zebra Comics. “We are honoured to contribute to this iconic anthology and introduce a fresh perspective on Superman, a character who embodies universal values. Through ‘Chariot of the Gods,’ we aim to showcase the boundless talent and creativity of African storytellers.”
“Chariot of the Gods” promises to deliver a thought-provoking narrative that explores Superman’s noble intentions and unforeseen consequences when he encounters unfamiliar customs and traditions of the Bakweri people. Readers will witness the Man of Steel face culture shock, learn profound lessons about empathy and respect, and ultimately deepen his understanding of what it truly means to be a hero in our interconnected world.
Superman: The World is slated for release on June 25, 2025, and will be available on the Zebra Comics app, website, and at participating comic book shops, booksellers, and mass market retailers/etailers across key territories, including Brazil, Mexico, France, Germany, Spain, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Turkey, India, Cameroon, Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics, and Argentina.
