Stranger Comics Joins GlobalComix as the Publisher Celebrates 15 Years

GlobalComix has announced that Stranger Comics is debuting its popular library of afro-fantasy titles on the digital comics platform including the Asunda Universe essentials Niobe: She is Life & She is Death, Tales of Asunda, and more. In addition to bringing Stranger Comics’ graphic fiction catalog to the platform, GlobalComix is working to reimagine its series as vertical scroll episodes, helping introduce the series to today’s generation of mobile-first readers. The first will be the critically acclaimed series Niobe: She is Life & The Untamed, followed by more stories from Tales of Asunda.

Tales of Asunda is an ongoing series in the expanding, interconnected world of Asunda, which is rich in culture and tradition with years of development. It celebrates many of its lead characters and backdrops in afro-fantasy-inspired settings with emotional themes that resonate globally on a deeply human level. The latest installment, NIOBE: She Tribe is written by President of Stranger Sebastian A. Jones, with co-writer Emmy-nominated actress Thuso Mbedu. NIOBE: She Tribe tackles the pros and cons of “tradition,” asking both character and reader if all traditions are good, to be followed as law, binding in mind, body, and spirit. If they are disputed, what are the motives? If they are flawed, how can they be resolved? And if traditions are changed, how can people accept and evolve? When Niobe learns of a tradition that a tribal chief is decided in a fight to the death she must choose between challenging and changing an ancient custom or remaining hidden from the world and her destiny.

Incredible titles from Stranger Comics and many more are available in the GlobalComix App for iOS and Google Play and on the web.
