Meet Your New Favorite Female Egyptian Superhero, Lamis

Growing up as a nerd and a comic-book addict, we idolized Superman, Spider-Man and whatnot. We had no Arab superheroes to choose from. Bakar? No! Boogie and Tamtam? No!! Captain Maged? NO!!! We literally had no one. But thankfully, a group of Egyptian comic-book fiends have decided to change that with Lamis.

Lamis tells the story of an Egyptian girl who has led a very rough childhood. From a young age, she’s been stuck in the crime world and had no way of getting out…until she gets superpowers. We’ve spoken to one of the writers and they’ve informed us that Lamis’ first issue will be released on July 16th, and we are counting the seconds excited.

Watch the full trailer for the comic-book here…

WE SAID THIS: We need more Arab superheroes like Lamis…especially female ones.
