Can Egypt’s superheroes stop corruption?
Egyptian superheroes with a common touch tackle the ills of the country such as corruption, injustice, violation of human rights, loss of Egyptian identity and even bad grammar.
Horus, the god of the sky in Egyptian mythology, has risen to fight corruption. He is accompanied by Mariam, who is a female doctor with the superpower to heal, and Microbusgy, a minibus driver who can control fire and dust.
These are just a few of the characters in El3osba, derived from the Arabic word to mean “the gang,” a comic book series for Egyptian adults. These superheroes tackle the ills of Egypt such as corruption, poverty, injustice, violation of human rights, loss of Egyptian identity and even bad grammar.
