The Way of Paman & Wise Acre Comics: Charting a New Path in Comics
Friends, foes, and students of prose! Exciting updates are afoot, and I couldn’t be happier to share them with you. In the vast universe of comic narratives, there’s always been a hunger for rich, diverse stories that resonate with people from all walks of life. Today, we’re making a leap further in that direction.
A New Dawn with Wise Acre Comics
First off, The Way of Paman is proud to announce our collaboration with Wise Acre Comics, our brand-new publisher! Not only does this union bring together two passionate entities, but it also heralds a potent alliance of two Black-owned platforms. We both share a vision - to carve a space in the comic book and overall fiction industry for stories featuring Black and Brown protagonists that have their message firmly rooted in non-fiction. A space where characters of color don't just play supporting roles but lead with purpose, depth, and authenticity.
Dark Sentinel: An Evolved Narrative
To all the fans of Dark Sentinel, brace yourselves. Wise Acre Comics will be holding a Kickstarted campaign in early 2024 to get the first issue published and in front of as many eyes as possible! As we approach the upcoming Kickstarter, we've sprinkled some magic over the narrative. Lettersquids has re-lettered the entire first issue, imbuing it with fresh vibrancy and highlighting new and rethought dialogue that elevates the storytelling to a whole new level. With your help making the campaign for Issue #1 successful Dark Sentinel Issue #2 will be just around the corner!
Coming Soon: Damion
Our creative gears are turning relentlessly. We are in the throes of piecing together another captivating tale centered around a new character named Damion. What can you expect? Intrigue, depth, and a narrative that promises to captivate from the very first page.
Honoring The Pioneers
The call for diversity in comics isn’t new. Pioneers in the industry like Ta-Nehisi Coates, who breathed life into Marvel's Black Panther; Nnedi Okorafor with her exceptional work on LaGuardia for Dark Horse Comics; or Brian Stelfreeze, known for his iconic illustrations, have been pushing boundaries for years. Even within the indie space, we’ve seen marvelous work from creators like David Walker or the unmissable contributions by Sanford Greene at Image Comics. These trailblazers have set the stage, and we, at The Way of Paman and Wise Acre Comics, are here to further the narrative.
