A diverse group of scholars and artists—including Mfumu’Eto himself—engage with the found vernacular archive of this legendary cartoonist. The authors analyze his sequential art, unique framing techniques, copious use of Lingala, as well as vivid scenes of troubles, dreams, and the everyday. Combining anthropology, linguistics, and visuality with history and autobiography, A Kinshasa Star offers a wonderful mixture of interventions into Mfumu’Eto’s oeuvre and well beyond. Included are contrapuntal forays into colonial and postcolonial comics, Kinshasa lives and afflictions, the occult, Kongo shrines, domesticity, and the political turmoil of the last years of Mobutu’s twisted regime.",
