The exciting webcomic Zurri Sana, created by Kenyan artist Yvonne Wandera, is set to release its final two episodes by May 2025!

Wandera launched Zurri Sana in 2024 with two webisodes. Episode 3 came out in February 2025, and readers can expect the final two episodes to come out by next month. Wandera worked with illustrator Matias Lazaro to bring her vision to life.

Zurri Sana is a dynamic sci-fi action thriller that follows a day in the life of Zurri, a Black female risk-taking, reckless smuggler, searching for belonging, who must deliver a pair of limbs before sunset. The episodic webcomic takes readers on a high-speed journey, through a parallel world, in the Middle East underworld, where body parts are for sale for those who need them and those who simply want the latest surgical enhancement. The story explores themes rarely confronted head on in comics: aging, loneliness, body dysmorphia, survival and the silent grief of Black women without strong male figures in their lives.

Zurri Sana creator Yvonne Wandera, born in Nairobi, raised in London, now living in New York City, is a writer, actor, and producer who didn’t discover her passion for comics until her early 20s. She noticed that older comics featured mainly male superheroes while newer once were more diverse. Inspired by her favorites, Wandera set about to create her own comic centering a Black female character.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the comic, Wandera shared in a press release:

Honestly, the creation of Zurri is deeply personal and stems from sheer frustration. There’s a point in a woman’s life where she’s looked at like she’s ‘stale’. A universal point where a woman is no longer considered young. She’s totally out of sync with her peers. She’s in her mid 30’s, doesn’t have kids, disillusioned by dating and unfulfilled in her career. To add to this, the world is also looking at her like she needs to hurry up and do the things that are expected of her before she’s old…[She is] deeper in, still looking deceptively young, still searching for family and love in all the wrong places. Dynamic story worlds and raw storytelling have always been at the heart of what I love about stories. So, as I sat there being told that I would be slowing down in my 30s, and ambition would ease, instead I felt a roaring fire.
