Lion's Game: Masters of Mali

An action-packed, debut series set in 15th century West Africa

Hey, I'm Kevin

I am a US based author, lifelong martial artist, and nerd who loves all things anime. As a kid in upstate New York, when I wasn’t watching DBZ with my dad, we were in the dojo training to be like Goku. Now with a couple decades of experience under my belt, I write stories about dramatic, physics-defying fighters. My debut comic series, Lion’s Game – Masters of Mali features combat inspired by traditional African martial arts and combat sports set in a 16th century Mali Africa.

praise for lion's game

Brown orchestrates many moving pieces and creates opportunities for the brash and stoic Diata to grow throughout the series, even inserting humorous beats in the brisk, high-stakes plot. [Lion's Game is] an intriguing, confident first entry in what promises to be a riveting historical series.
