Jide Martin - Comic Republic
Jide Martin is an illustrator and author who is shaping the African narrative with authentic stories. He is the CEO of Comic Republic, Africa's first digital comic book company, renowned for its commitment to shaping Africa's image through captivating art and authentic narratives in the form of illustrations, comic books, and animations.
We’ve partnered with Comic Republic to support the capacity building of creatives and skills development on how to turn the business of comic book making into a profitable venture. “Comics for us, is a movement, our voice, our way of taking back control of the narrative of who we can aspire to be, heroes we can look up to. A way of taking back the narrative that African talent cannot produce world-class content – because we can – under the right circumstances – we all can.”
