George Khoury (JAD), is a comics artist, author, and scholar, is considered a pioneer of the art of comics in the Arab world. His critical writings on graphic narratives from the region, an area that has been largely overlooked, are now collected in this eagerly anticipated book.
In 1980, JAD authored the first adult graphic novel in the region, and later founded the first collective of comics artists (JADworkshop). He has written and lectured extensively on the subject, bringing to bear his unique perspective as both a practicing comics artist and a journalist with years of experience.
