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.
