Shubeik Lubeik

It's called Shubeik Lubeik, meaning "Your Wish is My Command" in Arabic. The story follows three characters navigating a world where you can literally buy wishes. There's a twist though - dealing with bureaucracy and the usual prejudices. The more you shell out for a wish, the more powerful and likely it is to work. The novel unfolds in three parts, each telling the tale of Aziza, Nour, and Shokry, and their struggles to make their deepest desires come true.

Deena's art, blending calligraphy and contemporary styles, paints a vibrant picture of a bustling Cairene neighborhood and a group of characters with relatable struggles and victories. Shubeik Lubeik marks the arrival of a significant new talent - a bold voice in comics that's literary, political, and feminist.
