Chaka, d'après l'œuvre de Thomas Mofolo #[nn]

A graphic adaptation of Thomas Mofolo's sweeping literary work, this L'Harmattan BD release brings the story of Chaka to life through the collaborative vision of Jean-François Chanson and Koffi Roger N'Guessan. The cover sets a commanding tone, depicting a bare-chested warrior striding forward with a spear, flanked by a woman leading a bull and backed by a vast procession of spear-carrying figures stretching across a warm, ochre landscape. Published in 2018, it's a striking invitation to experience one of African literature's great epic narratives in sequential art form.
