Kwanza Osajyefo

Kwanza Osajyefo began his career as an intern at Marvel Comics and worked his way up to digital editor. After leaving comics for a time, Kwanza returned to launch DC Comics first webcomics imprint and created the blueprints for their digital comics initiative. Kwanza prefers to write stories that draw from our human condition, centered around characters with various perspectives and backgrounds. In Black [af]: Widows & Orphans (Black Mask Comics) co-creator and author Kwanza Osajyefo asks a provocative question: In a world where only black people have superpowers, what price do they fetch on the black market? From the pages of BLACK, this new story features Anansi and Hoodrat investigating a human trafficking ring that will take them across the globe and bring them face-to-face with dark pasts of abuse, child soldiers, and families torn apart. LA WEEKLY called it “Chillingly prophetic, telling the tale of the children of superpowered people being torn away from their parents and sold on the black market.”
