Scribe Ra | RA NO TABI
WELCOME TO THE THOTH ARCHIVES
RA NO TABI is an original African mythological comic universe created and written by Scribe Ra.
It is a growing archive of interconnected stories built from life, memory, fatherhood, martial arts, mythology, romance, humour, hardship, transformation and Heka.
At the centre of the universe is Re, a father whose journey moves between the streets of South Africa, memories of Germany, ancient Egyptian mythology, spiritual worlds, comic-book spectacle and the ordinary chaos of being human.
Across the complete RA NO TABI collection, readers will encounter action-comedies, martial-arts chronicles, mythological adventures, personal love stories, supernatural journeys, racing, gaming, monsters, gods, rivals, friends, family and an unreasonable number of damaged vehicles.
THE RA NO TABI JOURNEY
The archive follows Re through a continuing life cycle:
ORIGINAL RA NO TABI
The central life story of Re, told through mythology, memory, adventure, fatherhood and the transformation of lived experience into legend.
RA NO TABI: KARATE CHRONICLES — THE RING OF CHAMPIONS
Martial-arts stories about discipline, endurance, rivalry, honour, revenge and the choices that define a fighter beyond victory or defeat.
RA NO TABI: THE ANCIENT ONE
A mythological expansion of the universe, where ancient forces, gods, magic and the deeper identity of Re emerge from behind the human story.
These continuities form different eras of the RA NO TABI journey and remain distinct unless an official crossover is declared.
ENTER THE UNIVERSE
Every release opens a different door into the archive.
Some stories are explosive African action-comedies.
Some explore karate, competition and the discipline required to overcome anger.
Some are romances written through letters, racing, gaming, heartbreak and memory.
Some travel into Egyptian mythology, supernatural worlds and battles shaped by Heka.
Others return to the quiet centre of the entire universe: a father’s love for his daughters and his refusal to let distance erase that love.
CURRENTLY IN THE ARCHIVE
RA NO TABI: FIRE KING
An ancient Egyptian rocket misses Cape Town by approximately 1,000 kilometres and delivers Re directly into Johannesburg.
There he meets the unforgettable Mr Kaka, survives a financially dangerous romance, confronts discrimination, summons a black lion of fire and discovers that the night bus may be the most powerful vehicle in mythology.
RA NO TABI: HONOR BEFORE REVENGE
A complete martial-arts trilogy about endurance, discipline and choosing honour when revenge would be easier.
