Fela Kuti: Music Is The Weapon - Afrobeat to Illustration - Conor McCreery and Jibola Fagbamiye Graphic Novel
Episode 031
Monday, 10 November, 2025

What does it take to transform a complex icon like Fela Kuti into a graphic novel? I deconstruct the 10-year project of Fela: Music is the Weapon with co-creators writer Conor McCreery (Assassin's Creed, Adventure Time) and Nigerian-born artist Jibola Fagbamiye to uncover the tools, routines, and psychology they used. We cover changing publishers and page sizes to fit the life and times of Fela Kuti, the amount of research by Jibola and Conor into this massive life; how to manage creative doubt in the face of publishing deadlines; and the single most important thing they agreed on before starting this massive project being released by Harper Collins Publishing! "Fela: Music is the Weapon is not authorized by, affiliated with or otherwise connected to the Fela Kuti family or estate."
