ZEBRA COMICS BUILDING A REPUTATION FOR CONSISTENCY

  It is no doubt that when it comes to publishing comics in Africa, consistency has always been a problem.  There are tons of mobile apps for comics in Africa, but no one has been able to provide content consistently and with equal measure on quality.  However, Zebra comics since the beginning of 2023 has proven to break from that drawback. They have been releasing comics every two days , and this February, they took it up a notch to daily publications. We hope they can keep up with this pace, for the African comics space truly needs this level of consistency and dedication.  By our assertion at the Geek Chimp, Zebra Comics is currently the most reliable comic book app in Africa. Some even say it is the best so far, considering the user experience. In a later article, we shall go in depth into the functionalities of the Zebra Comics app. Download Zebra Comics from google play store. And if you use and iOS device, go to https://zebra-comics.com to be granted access to their platform.

    The one that stands out for me last year was Zebra Comics. I never knew about them till I got their app last year. Safe to say I am satisfied. I also consume a lot of free Comics from Comic republic's website. I'm yet to try out the others.
