The world of African comics is about to get darker, deeper, and more daring.
Visionary comic book creator Owoade Ifeoluwa, in collaboration with Symphonii Studios, has officially unveiled the cover for his highly anticipated project, Hounds and Jackals, a gripping psychological thriller that is already generating buzz ahead of its release.
Set to debut on November 22, 2025, at Frame Fest Abuja, Hounds and Jackals marks the beginning of what promises to be a defining work in African visual storytelling, one that blurs the line between crime, mystery, and the human mind.
A Story That Cuts Deep
At the heart of Hounds and Jackals is Special Investigator Reuben Abiola, a man racing against time to uncover the identity of a chilling serial killer known only as “The Whisperer.”
But as the investigation unfolds, Reuben finds himself confronting not just the truth behind the crimes but the truth within himself.
The story spirals into a tense exploration of truth, identity, and mental unraveling, shining a light on how far one must go to face the darkness within.
Redefining African Storytelling
More than a comic, Hounds and Jackals is a statement one that reflects Symphonii Studios’ mission to champion original African narratives through world-class artistry and innovation.
The project dives into the depth of culture and psychology while maintaining the cinematic flair that modern readers crave.
Described as “a gripping exploration of truth, identity, and the human mind,” the title showcases the bold creativity and visual ambition that continue to put African creators at the forefront of the global comic landscape.
