Here's some happy news for the Lebanese comic scene: The Encyclopedia of Lebanese comics is finally out! And Malaak's in it! I don't have the book myself yet but I'll pick up my copy at the launch. I wish it were in English so it could be enjoyed by comic enthusiasts elsewhere (since, to be realistic, the number of Arabic speakers who appreciate comics is puny), but it's a milestone without a doubt and Henry Matthews has been working on it for years. Here's an interview of Matthews from 2008, while the work was in progress>
