Malboer

An adults-only publication, which features the hero Ignatius “Malboer” Bierman and his sidekick Sannie Greyvenstein.  Malboer is tougher than tough (ex-Koevoet operative and SAP-Detective), in a style reminiscent of DC Comics’ Preacher comics. Set in post-apocalyptic South Africa, Malboer wields his duo of Berettas “Kombuis” and “Kerkorrel”, in a bloodthirsty tale of vengeance, hunting down “The Firm” (those responsible for attacks on his family).

The Book’s Motto:

Volksvervlakking is 'n siekte. Ontmoet die kuur.

(Brainwashing the Masses is the disease. Meet the cure.)
