This Monday, the communications unit of Ivorian striker Didier Drogba announced through a press release an exciting development: the release of a comic strip titled “Didier Drogba,” named after the captain of the Elephants. Set to hit bookstores in France on February 3, the first volume of this comic promises to be a captivating journey.
Entitled “From Tito to Drogba,” the inaugural volume delves into various aspects of the former Chelsea player’s life. It covers his childhood, early days in football, pivotal moments, and breakthroughs, including his remarkable tenure at Olympique de Marseille and his transition to Chelsea.
What makes this initiative even more commendable is that the proceeds from the comic will be directed to the Didier Drogba Foundation. This foundation works tirelessly to support children and the underprivileged in Ivory Coast and across Africa, making this comic not just a source of entertainment but also a means to contribute to meaningful causes.
