I remember d days of batman, superman, and spider man comics, those oyinbos can really copy someone else's stuffs. cuz we r d ones dat really had true super heroes, d likes of Sango, Oduduwa and others. but because those whites r copy-cats, they've created comics of our Fbs. even recently wit d cartoon AVATAR (abi was Sango not a fire bender?). So basically I feel we should do things our own ways. We can create fabulous comics with d help of our graphicians, who knows, we might produce something greater than Spider Man :-?. So guys, wach'ya fink? |

well, almost any race have their own peculiar folk lore, and there r similarities in some concepts globally. Most western heroes were products of events or movements of their times and were inspired by various current events like wars, women activism, industrial revolution, the space race etc.- not african folk lore. The graphic part is d easy part, wot guarantees acceptability lies in the research, conceptualisation of d story behind d xter.dats tuff work! DC Comics actually have an extensive genealogy of every hero in their universe outlining relationships and traits dats even more detailed than ur family tree or mine. Imagine dat level of attention to detail! |

^^Well said. Be like say pesin no dey actually pay attention to the comics except for what the herd say/know. If you're gonna attempt to make a hero/comic, pay attention to details. No be to only draw and tell us very basic history. |

OKX:  TRU TALK. Kind Of just realisee that, also its a big job trying to get full details of those tales. but does that mean that its impossible to create such things? There r loadz of nairalanders who can help contribute to research and stuvs. i'm just thinking we could cr8 our own Animated Toon, based on d stories of those 'heroes'.  |

nah. its not impossible! my thots r, given the volume of work involved in doing it right- someone HAS to pick up d tab. i doubt it will work as a 'free' collaborative effort. |

OKX:Kks, guess i gotta be On. My. Own then. |
| Re: Let's Make An African Super Hero Comic by OKX(m): 1:04pm On Apr 29, 2011 |
not necessarily, just do ur preliminary research. Employ woteva assets u can access to develope ur background stories- dat will take a bit of work n time, and is best handled by a point man. Get ur story tight, artists r replaceable- concept developers r not. When ur story/script is ready, shopping 4 talent 2 graphically depict it is easy. A well prepared script can even generate income or draw investors. Goodluck. Mind, d above r just my opinions- not necessarily fact. |

in all truth and fairness, its not an easy task to create a comic, you need alot of stuff to keep in mind. one is the scripting, then the storyboard then the drawing then the coloring, main artist , background artists, first of all research is needed and the whole plot laid down. I suggest you start with shorts first (comics that have endings in 4 issues) if that is successful then it will be possible to gain more experience for the big ones. And using folklore isnt such a good Idea, so basically think of characters loosely based on those heroes, if you use them straight on religion and politics may creep in. thats my input |

| Re: Let's Make An African Super Hero Comic by Nobody: 6:01pm On May 03, 2011 |
does the hero have to be super. why not stories of 'tortise and, '? i'm just saying. instead of the typical flying men/women, why not have comics children will read and not just glance at 'POW' or 'BOOM' or 'ZOOM' like i did with my old comics. the drawings need details but so do the stories behind the characters. |

I believe if a good African story is made into a comic, it would be very lovely. We've got lots a rich history and stories where inspiration could be derived from. I guess we 've got to make good research. By the way, what happened to Ikebe super, Funtimes and the rest ? |

| Re: Let's Make An African Super Hero Comic by logica(m): 4:25pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
Ever heard of Thor? Or Hercules/Heracles? Or Odysseus? So Oyinbo copied your superheroes? LOL. Anyway what happened to Kaptain Afrika or whatever his name was. |
| Re: Let's Make An African Super Hero Comic by snowdrops(m): 4:30pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
Thor. I thought he is a western super hero. |
| Re: Let's Make An African Super Hero Comic by Iyineda(m): 4:34pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
That was logica's point to the OP. Thor is a Scandinavian-based legend. |

snowdrops: Green lantern will suck,I just saw X men first class and I think it is the best critical comic book film made this year,better than thor,green hornet and captain america. |
