A Nigerian Cultural Horror Story

Synopsis

Celebrated authors Shobo and Shof (New Masters) draw from their Nigerian heritage for the heist of a lifetime. Joined by Eisner winning illustrator Alexandre Tefenkgi (The Good Asian), Shobo and Shof bring BRONZE FACES to BOOM! Studios in 2025. Prepare for a story that’s at once an exhilarating adventure and a breathtaking descent into mythology, history, and the horrors of colonialism.

Soho, London. Estranged childhood friends Timi, Sango, and Gbonka reunite on the eve of the British Museum’s historic purchase of the works of Timi’s father.

Emboldened by a night of drinking and shared outrage, the friends concoct a scheme to steal back the seminal artwork themselves!

But when the trio find themselves in possession of “The Register,” a document outlining dozens of colonial-era stolen artifacts, their sights turn even higher to the Benin Bronzes–the British Museum’s cache of nearly 1,500 works of stolen art from the Kingdom of Benin…
