So two different bits of news today:
The first being, that me and my good friend Mohamed Reda (@redzee909) on twitter have started an indie comics publishing house in Egypt, in hopes of pushing the comics market in Egypt to rival the international markets out there.
Our concept is very similar to shonen jump in which we create a bimonthly anthology and allow several artists, writers etc to contribute to these anthologies. the successful ones move on to be their own line afterwards, and so on. Our first Anthology will be launched on the 11th of July isA at Bikya Bookstore
www.cairo360.com/article/shopp… and it will also be availble for sale there, as well as other bookstores in cairo for more information visit www.divisionpublishing.com this is our company's website
You can also follow us on twitter @divisioncomics and find us on facebook by searching Division Publishing, I highly suggest you "Like Us"
Our first Anthology contains a lot of really good Comic artists and writers from Egypt and I truly hope you like it as much as I did.
Now for the second bit of news
Yes, Ladies and gentlemen Driving Home will officially be a webcomic, one that Updates weekdays (that's sunday to thursday in Egypt we get friday and saturday off)
I know it will be hard, but it's great practice and I think sticking to it would benefit me greatly as a comic artist not to mention you get to enjoy a lot of epicness, joining me on this would be none other than the epic
he has always been part of Driving Home and I think it's only fair now to have his name up in lights, because let's face it he is one of the greatest writers I know.
So yeah, visit driving-home.com starting the 3rd of july and tell your friends
