Ghanaian Chidren's Book Author Bernard K. Mensah Celebrates Diversity In His Upcoming Comic Book Launch.
Personally i grew up around Archie comics, Marvel & DC comics. I would always be excited when we had to go visit my cousins who always had the latest comics thanks to their well-travelled parents. The stories were extremely well crafted and humorous , beautiful lettering and the graphics so captivating and colourful ! But these were stories of a Western culture & imagination so i truly appreciate and find it wildly exciting for the launch of a Ghanaian & African culture representative comic book for kids.
Bernard K. Mensah is a Ghanaian children’s book author with several beautifully written & illustrated books for early readers and young adults.
