Is it a man? Is it a bird? No, it’s Polynesia’s answer to that mythical figure, the superhero. AFI, a comic creation from New Zealand-born Samoan Johnny Angel, is a futuristic Samoan superhero driven to do good for humanity around the globe. |
He will be making his Auckland debut on Tues 3 Oct at the launch of Angel’s comic book series entitled, ‘THE ADVENTURES OF AFI–EPISODE VII – WARS OF THE HEART’ (Episode VII is the first to go to print) |
We are pleased to invite you to be among the first to view a slide show of the comic’s 40-page collection of full-colour hand drawn images which showcase the considerable skill of their creator. |
An artist and animator, Angel credits training with Firehorse Films where he worked on the hugely successful TV3 cartoon series bro’Town with helping fine-tune the line drawing technique he needed to bring his fire-dancing, kick boxing superhero to life. |
Former Mr Universe and five times winner of the Mr South Pacific Body Building Championships Tony Liga Liga will provide guests with real-life representation of Afi and his prowess on the night. Samoan sisters Marina and Lisa, meanwhile will infuse the atmosphere with the soft strains of South Pacific music. |
This is an opportunity to meet a rare talent and take home an autographed copy of the Pacific’s first superhero comic. |
