Africa Benson
Okay, this is Africa Benson as drawn by the excellent Kenneth Coker, who I wrote about before here.
Been meaning to post this for a while now, but like I have been saying for the last couple of posts now, internet and work have conspired against me.
So, “Who is Africa Benson?”
Africa Benson is a scientist, adventurer and cross-dimensional explorer. Her world is a world in which modern civilisation developed along Afro-Indian lines instead of the Latin/European one of ours.
Technology there is super-advanced compared to ours and the existence of multiple universes common knowledge due to the discovery of ‘The Warp’, a more tangible form of the space-time continuum.
Africa Benson’s father, Delta Benson, is the founder and CEO of a technology company called Ouagadougou Technologies, creators of various household gadgets and military-grade hardware. They are also one of the few companies with the know-how to create artifacts that can affect ‘The Warp’. He is a true renaissance man, and a genius with a larger than normal brain.
Delta goes missing one day taking with him the only means of crossing the warp into other dimensions – a warp staff. Before his disappearance, he had spoken to Africa about a theory of his, that all the multiverse came from one original universe. A universe he called World Zero. Why ‘world’ and not ‘universe’? Well, you’ll have to read it to find out!
Africa manages to make her own warp staff (which you can see her holding in the illustration) and sets out to look for her father through the multiverse, trying to track him by the unique warp signature of his own warp staff.
The Warp is like a skein of 7th dimensional material that sits beneath the space-time continuum. It allows for faster-than-light travel, warping and manipulation of 3D and 4D space, and travel between multiple dimensions. It can only be manipulated by a material known widely as terracotta or coral steel, a very rare ore that occurs in comets and other stellar material in Africa’s universe.
Africa will navigate the warp, encountering multiple cultures and civilisations in the various multiverses and even beings that inhabit the warp itself as she searches for her father.
The comic is planned for print and truth be told, I am not looking at getting it out soon, but the web comic will serve as a teaser into the universe, and I might be releasing short stories of Africa Benson’s adventures on here while I work up to the full comic book.
So, “Who is Africa Benson?”, now you have a better idea. 
wow… def worth the wait
She’s beautiful and coker’s realization of her is awe inspiring! This is next level stuff.
