Avalon Park siblings Willis “Glyph Sputnik” Price, a comic book writer and artist, and his sister, Nikiya Price, who specializes in brand marketing and product development, are collaborating with The RZA, one of the founding members of the iconic rap group Wu-Tang Clan, to produce “Samurai in a Hoodie,” a digital, musical comic book series.
