"There's a lacking of an African narrative in the comic book genre [and] graphic novel genre," says Somto Ajuluchukwu, the founder of Lagos-based Vortex 247 Comics.
"I would say we are bringing fresh air, a brand new light to the industry globally."
He told BBC Focus on Africa radio how he and his colleagues were helping to change publishing and show that "the African narrative is really diverse".
"For example, Rubik is a fan-fiction comic loosely based off Star Wars but we are imagining [it] in an African setting."
