The first woman of Sword & Soul returns with a collection of all her short stories and a novel-length adventure, both in glorious mass-market paperback!
This campaign funds two books, the officially licensed reprints of Charles R. Saunders' Dossouye and Dossouye: The Dancers of Mulukaul, with brand new art and bonus material.
Charles Saunders as a young man, illustrated by Chuah Shih Shin.
Charles R. Saunders was the father of Sword & Soul, Sword & Sorcery grounded in the cultures, legends, and history of Africa.
Dossouye, first created in 1979, was a warrior woman inspired by real-life female warriors of the West African Kingdom of Dahomey.
Mounted on her war-bull, Gbo, Dossouye journeys beyond the border of her homeland in search of a place to call her own, bringing a mind as keen as her blade as protection against the many dangers she encounters.
Charles wrote Dossouye's adventures on and off for decades, and it is fascinating to watch them grow and change as he did.
Charles Saunders as an older man, illustrated by Chuah Shih Shin.
The books are written, edited, and raring to go! The crowdfund is for compensating the estate of Charles R. Saunders and the other creatives involved, as well as covering production costs like printing & shipping.
