(Nigerian Comic Book Showcase) Black Widow
The FAMILY is a syndicate made up of high-ranking citizens and industrial top-shots, each of them holding no political office nor having any political ambition. But, they dictate how Nigeria is run. What decisions are made, who becomes the governor of which state etc.
The FAMILY funded the BULLDOZER PROJECT, a secret off-shoot programme organised by the State Security Service. The BULLDOZER Project is a group of young, trained assassins used by the FAMILY to do its dirty jobs.
BLACK WIDOW is the code name of one of the assassins, Amaka, a young girl who was separated from her mother by Madam Z and drafted into the project. Trapped between a dark world of organised crimes, a blurry past and a deep yearning to discover her true identity, Amaka discharged her duties with razor-sharp skills and accurate precision. Interestingly, she found love at about the same time a ghost from her past came back to haunt her.
The story is set in Nigeria with a few events happening elsewhere.
Expect high octane action, guns blazing and swords slashing.
the characters so far are intriguing. am expecting “crime noir” style storytelling for this one.nice.
So has actually been published? Is it available to order? It looks interesting and well drawn.
Hi Dennis and sorry for the late response. Black Widow is going to be published under the Nigerian Comic Book Showcase initiative and so has not been published yet. We will be releasing a free issue online for the general public so that a vote can be made on whther it should make it into the inaugural Nigerian Comic Book Showcase anthology. Do look forward to it.
