About Sarai
Product Description Modern slavery is a crime against humanity. There are more than 46 million people who are enslaved in the world today. Sarai is a 12-year-old Nigerian girl whose modest village life is shattered when she is captured by the Ken Jou Plek, an extremist organization dedicated to the idea that women and girls should be kept down. Like all extremists, the KJP are prepared to realize this vision through torture, slavery, and bloodshed. Certain she is going to die, Sarai makes a bargain with an unusual ally in an attempt to save her life and the lives of her fellow captives. Tragedy, trauma, man's seemingly limitless capacity for cruelty, the frailty of human existence, justice, and retribution are all laid bare in this cutting-edge graphic novel. Our goal for Sarai is to get people talking about Human trafficking one comic book page at a time. Brutally relevant and emotionally powerful , Sarai fits perfectly alongside such iconic antiheroes as Marvel Comics' The Punisher, Wolverine and Moon Knight and Image Comics' Hit-Girl.

Review "Sarai is the perfect example of comic books being used to communicate important messages through satisfying story telling. ...Pick up Sarai if you want a look at the real world and how it could be changed for the better just by standing up in the face of evil. The Verdict: 8.5/10" --Comicosity.com As brutal as the subject matter is, there s something oddly entertaining about how it all plays out. You take the journey with Sarai as she escape her captors, so it s satisfying watching her return to butcher them. The question is can Sarai go back to being the little girl before her powers, or did that girl die the moment she was kidnapped? It s definitely something that will make you want to follow her continued adventures. --Outrightgeekery.com The themes covered in this story hit some pretty dark lows, but to make the story less brutal would be to soften the impact of a subject that should hit hard. The fact that Sarai is topical and controversial, while remaining an entertaining read is nothing short of a miracle. It s a story that deserves to be read and talked about. --Thepullbox.com From the Author "I can still remember when I heard the CNN anchor say"...as many as 200 girls were abducted from their boarding school innortheastern Nigeria by heavily armed Boko Haram Islamists who arrived intrucks, vans, and buses, officials and witnesses said." Having a youngdaughter and being a female the story broke me. In the days that followed, I could think oflittle else. How terrified those poor girls must be. What horrible abuse mightthey be experiencing at the hands of these savages? Was there anything anyonecould do to save them? To cope with this terrible tragedy my mind began tothink what it might be like if one of the girls had the power to fight back, tosave her fellow classmates, and to exact righteous vengeance on their captors.Hence Sarai was born.
