Celebrated authors Shobo and Shof draw from their Nigerian heritage for the heist of a lifetime. Joined by Eisner winning illustrator Alexandre Tefenkgi, Shobo and Shof bring Bronze Faces to BOOM! Studios in 2025. Prepare for a story that’s at once an exhilarating adventure and a breathtaking descent into mythology, history, and the horrors of colonialism.

Soho, London. Estranged childhood friends Timi, Sango, and Gbonka reunite on the eve of the British Museum’s historic purchase of the works of Timi’s father. Timi has been invited as a “guest of honor,” but what the Museum is heralding as a triumphant acquisition, the trio see as nothing short of brazen cultural theft.

Emboldened by a night of drinking and shared outrage, the friends concoct a scheme to steal back the seminal artwork themselves!

But when the trio find themselves in possession of “The Register,” a document outlining dozens of colonial-era stolen artifacts, their sights turn even higher to the Benin Bronzes–the British Museum’s cache of nearly 1,500 works of stolen art from the Kingdom of Benin…

Bronze Faces #1 features main cover art by series co-creator Shof, and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Alexandre Tefenkgi, Dan Mora, and Tula Lotay.
