Agostinho Neto #1

Published in 2015 by the Fundação Dr. António Agostinho Neto, this Portuguese-language biographical comic opens the story of one of Africa's most remarkable figures with the arc "De Cabeça Levantada 1922–1961." Osvaldo Medina's cover art places a group of sharply dressed men in suits at the center of a sun-dappled colonial streetscape, with a tall, dignified figure holding a red book stepping forward as the clear focal point. It's a quietly powerful image — confident and purposeful — that sets the tone for what promises to be a thoughtful chronicle of history, identity, and resolve.
