Cameroon’s Zebra Comics has contributed to Supergirl: The World, DC’s new international anthology, marking the third consecutive year the studio has partnered with DC Comics. The book was released worldwide on 2 June 2026.
Supergirl: The World is an 184-page hardcover with stories from 15 countries, including Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, France, Poland, Turkey, Finland, Colombia, Serbia, Japan, the United States, and Cameroon. DC published it simultaneously across all participating regions, with Zebra Comics handling the Cameroon edition.
Zebra’s story, Children of Ngonnso, is written by Njoka Suyru, with thumbnails by Coeurtys Ulrich Minko and art and cover by Ejob Nathanael Ejob. In it, Supergirl encounters Ngonnso, a deity tied to the Nso people of Cameroon’s North West Region.
This is the second time Zebra Comics has built a DC story around a Cameroonian deity. In 2025’s Superman: The World, the studio’s entry, “Chariot of the Gods,” introduced Epasa Moto, a guardian spirit of the Bakweri people, into the Superman mythos.
Zebra Comics first joined DC in 2024 for Joker: The World, becoming the first African studio to contribute to a major DC Comics production. Its entry, Black Therapy, written by Ejob Gaius and illustrated by Bertrand Mbozo’o Zeh, used the Joker’s arrival in Cameroon to address mental health. Gaius said at the time that the team wanted to portray the continent “without falling into stereotypes.”
A review of Supergirl: The World on the Supergirl blog Comic Box Commentary covered the anthology’s artwork and several individual stories but did not review Cameroon’s entry specifically, noting only that the uncovered stories, Cameroon’s included, carried their own art styles and tones.
With three consecutive years of contributions, spanning the Joker, Superman, and now Supergirl, Zebra Comics has built a track record as DC’s recurring creative partner in Cameroon, each time anchoring a flagship DC character to a different piece of Cameroonian heritage.
Supergirl: The World is available now in print and through Zebra Comics’ app and website.
