SUPERHUMANITY: The Super Australians Comic Book Series Launches
IPI Comics recently published the SUPERHUMANITY: Super Australians comic book series in the grand tradition of superhero team sagas. The work was created by 12 combinations of writer and artist, totalling 24 main creators (and a couple of able, supporting guest-talents)—an assemblage of 26 of some of Australia’s most loved and accomplished comics writers and artists!Twelve Australian superheroes stand against 12 menaces in every State, Territory, and geographical clime of Australia from parched deserts to the ice-covered Australian Antarctic Territory. These heroes—six males and six females–represent diverse ages, ethnicities and walks of life and an impressive array of super powers or special abilities possessed in this strange, wide, brown land of ours.
Julie Ditrich (writer) and Marcelo Baez (artist) are one of the creative teams. They introduce their character Djiniri to the comics world. Djiniri (defined as a female genie), is on the run from her dangerous nemesis who has tracked her over 1200 years from the Middle East to the deserted Pinnacles in Western Australia. She must attempt to not only escape the trap he set for her but also rescue a family facing annihilation. Djiniri features in a six-part chapter in Issue #1 of Super Australians, and is part of the superhero team in the greater story.
