The story weaves together the fates of several characters—an American journalist, a smuggler, a dancer, and a young activist—as they become entangled in a conflict over a mysterious artifact tied to ancient powers. Written by G. Willow Wilson with art by M.K. Perker, the series blends political tension with magical realism in a vivid portrait of the city.
"Cairo" #nn (2007) launches a gripping, character-driven supernatural thriller where five lives collide in the heart of the city. Written by G. Willow Wilson and illustrated by M. K. Perker, with lettering by Travis Lanham, the story follows Ashraf, a smuggler with a stolen hookah; Ali, a censored journalist; Kate, an American explorer; Shaheed, a Lebanese-American with a dangerous mission; and Tova, an Israeli officer stranded in Cairo—each drawn into a conflict when the sorcerer Nar seeks to harness the power of the jinn Shams. The cover by M. K. Perker captures the tension of a city on edge, setting the stage for a tale where belief, identity, and consequence are as real as the supernatural forces at play.
