Shaka Zulu Comic Book Hero – The Background
Shaka Zulu is probably without doubt one of South Africa’s best known historical figures after Nelson Mandela. He reigned supreme at the beginning of 19th Century and has probably become the most influential Zulu monarch.
“Shaka Rising” is an epic tale set in a different age, but its characters and themes are as familiar to us as sibling rivalry, the heartache of a lost love, or simply a yearning to belong. “It is as much a coming-of-age tale as it is a saga of war and politics”, says Luke Molver.
