In a landmark celebration of global storytelling, DC Comics has announced Superman: The World, an ambitious new hardcover anthology set to launch on 25 June 2025. This 208-page collection promises a sweeping tribute to the iconic Man of Steel, as envisioned through the creative lenses of storytellers from across the globe—including a standout narrative from Cameroon that is capturing international attention.

One of the anthology’s entries, "Chariot of the Gods", marks a groundbreaking moment for African storytelling in mainstream comics. Created by the team at Zebra Comics, with writer Ejob Gaius and artists E.N. Ejob and Mink Studio-Arti, the story transports Superman to Cameroon, where he encounters Epasa Moto, a revered deity of the Bakweri people. This culturally rich narrative explores themes of identity, heritage, and the evolving nature of heroism in a world shaped by diverse traditions.

The inclusion of "Chariot of the Gods" not only reinforces Superman’s universal relevance but also highlights DC's growing commitment to authentically representing stories from underrepresented regions. The story follows Zebra Comics’ earlier success with Joker: The World, also set in Cameroon, further positioning the studio as a rising voice in the global comic space.

"Superman: The World" features 15 original stories from countries including Brazil, Argentina, France, Spain, Italy, India, Japan, and Poland. Each tale reimagines Superman through the cultural lens of its creators. Highlights include "Let Slip the Dogs of War" by Dan Jurgens and Lee Weeks, which pits Superman against an alien threat while examining military ethics; and "The Red Mantle" by Brazilian writer Jefferson Costa, which blends superheroics with the deep-rooted history of cultural artefacts.

The release is set to occur exclusively on the Zebra Comics app and website, marking a significant milestone in digital distribution rights across Africa. Pre-orders for this monumental work will open soon, inviting audiences to engage with a narrative that embodies cultural richness and heroic ideals.
