Norfrica: Glorious Death #1 (en Inglés) - Eric July;Ronilson Freire;Marcos Martins;The Invisible Art Studio

Gods, realms, and a war waiting to ignite. Norfrica: Glorious Death #1 opens a sweeping mythological epic from Rippaverse founder Eric July.

Norfrica: Glorious Death #1 is a 64-page graphic novel set in a vast cosmic-fantasy universe inspired by mythological epics. As tensions rise between the godly realm of Asgarth and the forces of Jotunheiml, a diplomatic mission becomes the spark that threatens to plunge the realms into all-out war.

The debut establishes the Norse-inspired backbone of the wider Norfrica saga—political machinations, godly powers, and full-page fantasy art—before the series turns to the African folklore-inspired realm of Nyandala in later chapters.

The first chapter of Norfrica: Glorious Death, written by Eric July—building the mythological foundation that continues in #2. The series carries a real-world cross-media tie-in: “Glorious Death,” the Billboard-charting single performed by Eric July and Dan Vasc as the in-universe band Norfrica.
