I will be sharing those lessons in my new segment in the hopes that it makes your journey easier. I’m far from being an expert so I hope to learn from you as well. ENJOY! - Beserat from ETAN COMICS

We are a small team. An all African team. Working through power outages and data overages. We don’t own World Class software and tools. We just love this work and we are committed to it. That’s why this is an incredible milestone. . We believe that new voices in Fantasy stories will change the game for our industry. . We believe that everyone deserves to be seen and to believe in themselves. . We believe that the best way to show the wonder of new places and the beauty of different cultures is through stories. . Currently, we are on a mission to give comic book fans a binge-worthy African Fantasy TV series. We hope you join us in this journey. In fact, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for those who came along from the beginning. Here is to more milestones together! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Last Year vs. this year. Last year vs. this year. From Shuri to Hawi. From Black Panther to Jember. From Marvel to Etan Comics. Wakanda to Ethiopia 🇪🇹 🇪🇹🇪🇹

African stories are the future of our entertainment industry! 💚💛❤️ 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 https://www.okayafrica.com/african-comic-books-ethiopia-hawi-nominated-nommo-awards/

Both JEMBER and HAWI were just long listed in the 2020 Nommo Awards for Best Graphic Novel! Amazing. Last year, the Nommo Award for Best Graphic Novel went to Shuri by Nnedi Okorafor. Yes, Shuri as in Marvel’s Black Panther. What an honor it is to be apart of this year’s list. Congratulations to all our fellow African creatives who also made it to the long-list! 💚💛❤️
