The Urban Legend #1 is making its USA debut in March, from Josef Tzegai Yohannes and artist Newtasty.
By day Malcolm T. Madiba is a schoolteacher who lives by a code of justice and honor. After the murder of his brother, he adopts the alter-ego of The Urban Legend, a crime-fighting superhero committed to justice and protecting the innocent, putting bad guys in their place to help to keep the streets of recession-ravaged Capital City safe. A superhero with and without a mask, Malcolm’s compassion and inspiration move further than all the others to truly make a difference in the world.
“It is my hope that people will embrace The Urban Legend in a different way than they have other superheroes, that they might see something in him that they wish they could see in themselves,” said Josef Tzegai Yohannes in a press release. “I wanted to create a black superhero who could give the voiceless a voice and stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves. A superhero that could represent them, someone who could take the burden off their shoulders and empower them with his message and integrity. A superhero that could stand up and fight for them, because he is one of them, too, showing that they may always try to overcome the obstacles for the greater good, no matter the odds.”
The Urban Legend #1 arrives on ComiXology on March 9, 2022.
