Aya: Face the Music

In 2025, Drawn & Quarterly released Aya: Face the Music, a single-issue comic that returns to the beloved Ivory Coast-set series. This installment continues the warm, slice-of-life storytelling associated with creator Marguerite Abouet and artist Clément Oubrerie, focusing on everyday joys and challenges in 1970s Abidjan. While brief, it matters as a fresh chapter in a landmark series celebrated for its vibrant, humanistic portrayal of African urban life.
