SYNOPSIS

Fez is based on actual events and tells the story of the Salle Rovers, a fleet of feared Moorish pirates the most infamous of their time who operated off the coast of Africa. Their height was during the 17th century, a period vividly reimagined through African comics storytelling.

The story explores the origins of the Rovers and various major naval battles, focusing on their conflicts with England and later America. These events ultimately led Morocco to become one of the first countries to formally recognize the United States’ sovereignty by signing a treaty of peace and friendship in 1786, a document that remains the longest unbroken relationship in U.S. history, all depicted with the dramatic flair of African comics.
