About this Collection

This graphic novel collects the complete five-issue miniseries from 2008, a standalone thriller set in modern-day Cairo. Written by G. Willow Wilson with art by M.K. Perker, the story weaves together the lives of several characters—an American journalist, an Israeli soldier, a Sudanese refugee, and a smuggler—whose paths converge around a mysterious stolen artifact. Published under DC's Vertigo imprint, it blends political intrigue, magical realism, and Middle Eastern mythology.

In "Cairo," a 2008 DC comic written by G. Willow Wilson and illustrated by M. K. Perker, five lives collide in the heart of the city when a stolen hookah unleashes a jinn with dangerous power. As a sorcerer hunts the ancient entity known as Shams, Ashraf, Ali, Kate, Shaheed, and Tova find their fates entangled in a crisis that blurs the line between the supernatural and the real. The cover by M. K. Perker captures the story’s tense, atmospheric edge.
