A hookah pipe surfaces in contemporary Cairo, and suddenly a Lebanese-American smuggler, a Syrian-American college student, an Israeli soldier, and a pair of djinn are all pulling toward the same vanishing point. G. Willow Wilson — who would go on to create Ms. Marvel — wrote this graphic novel years before her mainstream breakthrough, and it has the quality of early work that knows exactly what it is: a story about borders, mythology, and the way ancient things refuse to stay buried. Artist M.K. Perker's line work moves between the gritty and the mythic with equal ease.
Condition: Excellent. Clean boards, tight spine, pages bright and unmarked.
Publisher: Vertigo/DC Comics. Written by G. Willow Wilson, art by M.K. Perker.
