What is an African superhero?
When Zimbabwean comic artist and writer Tino Makoni – the mind behind African superhero comic book Mhare – realized that the heroes he saw in comics and on screen did not look like him, he set out to create some of his own.
Combining his love for story-telling and drawing, Tino is using his art to empower and inspire other young Africans, while emphasizing the power of representation. “I need to not just make cool stuff, but make stuff that puts other people in there who aren’t being recognized at this point in time”, he told us.
