These two companies are not related but their product is similar. They are both based out of the Middle East and produced comics with a middle-eastern focus. AK Comics is based out of Egypt and takes its name from the initials of the creator of the line. Teshkeel comics was based out of Kuwait.

And, for the true completionist, the 99 goes up to #24 online at the99.org.

But, they're digital online, unfortunately.

going to a comic show on Sunday, if all goes well. Which of these do you need and what's your price range?

The 99 6 and 7. I could go as high as cover price.

Otherwise, I included a few AK comics with a lot I sent Knightt recently.

And very much appreciated, I bagged these up last night and as I flipped through them, sighed as I added them to my needs list. :twisted:

I saw their booth at SDCC 2006 and bought at least one book of each title. I even got a copy of Aya in arabic. I have a handful of international editions as well.

That is cool you worked for AK. I wish they would have published more.

ha! maybe our paths crossed in 2006. in fact i think i remember someone buying one of each.

working with them was such a weird/ awesome experience. I worked with Rick Gross the editor and chief at kohl's department store. He got the job at AK and brought me along for the ride.

Ayman Kandeel "AK" put rick me and a guy named tony in one of his old offices (AK had 6 or 7 businesses running at that time.) So AK comics' american office was at the intersection of rodeo blvd and wilshire. the heart of the miracle mile. home of gucci, fendi, dior, verti and.... AK comics. :lol: we were in the rolex building :lol:

we spent most of our day trying to fix the comics that were already created in cairo. the other part of the day was dealing with business people that didn't know anything about the comic industry. that booth at sdcc was going to be something similar to what you see at a high end auto show with furniture, hardwood floors, glass paneling, and a second floor :lol: we knocked that down a peg or two.

The whole thing was a great experience. Tony and Rick were a blast to work with.
