Crime unleashes a reptile

Cape Town illustrator and graphic novelist Luis Tolosana has unleashed the first episode of the self-drawn, written, conceived and funded Iguana-Man. Still an adolescent superhero, learning to control the anger that unleashes his power, the reptile within reacts to a specifically Cape Town and South African context. "Iguana-Man was born out the frustration most of us have with the crime in this city and the current political climate that is constantly looming over our heads," says Tolosana, who also publishes the quarterly Nocents comics zine under his Ghoti Comics label.
