Teshkeel Comics

[Naif]

شركة النشر الكويتية المتخصصة بالكوميكز .. http://teshkeel.com/

قرات من فترة The99 و هي كوميكز مبينة على الحضارة العربية\الاسلامية .. كانت جيدة جدا .. تقدرون تشوفون برفيو من العدد الاول على the99.org

بس حبيت اعرف .. ما يعتبر حرام استخدام اسماء مستمدة من صفات الله الحسنى للشخصيات الخارقة في القصة؟ .. ما اريد افتي لكني ما اعتقد انه حرام .. بحيث انه اسماء الابطال اللي عرفونا بهم، طلعوا في خلف العدد الاول، كانت بدون (الـ) التعريف .. بس اريد اتاكد ..

هذا اللي قاله كاتب القصة (نايف المطوع) في المقدمة:

.. تشكل مجموعة الـ99 مفهوما جديدا لقصص الابطال الخارقين المصورة التي كتبت بطريقة رائعة لتناسب خيال قرائنا الاطفال. يعود اسم الـ99 الى اسماء الله الحسنى و منها الجبال و الحق و الرحيم .. الخ و هي صفات يطمح ان يتصف بها كل انسان في العالم و هي ذاتها الصفات التي استمدها الابطال الـ99 الخارقون ..

في اول عدد طلع اول سوبر هيرو منهم و هو نواف البلالي ( جبار) من السعودية .. نفس ذا هلك تقريبا بس قصته شكلها حلوة و مؤثرة شوي.. و شي حلو عجبني في الكوميكز بعد انه مناسب جدا للكبار حتى .. استمتعت فيه وايد ..

و قريت اول جزء من العدد الاول من X-Men (المجلة الكبيرة .. في مجلة ثانية (مجلة جيب) شكلها اكس من for kids .. ) .. الترجمة كانت جيدة بعد ..

الشركة هي الوكيل الرسمي لكوميكز Marvel في الميدل ايست ..

همممم المشروع حلو بس بالنسبة لاسماء الله وصفاته الحسنى انا اعرف انه لايجوز نسب اسماء الله وصفاته الحسنى لأي مخلوق هذا اللي اعرفه لكن اذا بدون ال التعريف ما ادري بس يعني في صفات زي ملك تطلق لملك الدولة بدون ال التعريف فهذا جائز فاظن والله اعلم انه بدون ال التعريف يكون جائز

لقاء ممتع مع كاتب قصة الـ99 :

PDR: Tell us something about yourself.

Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa: I was born in Kuwait in 1971. I grew up in Kuwait and spent my summers at a camp in New Hampshire from 1979 to 1988. I attended Tufts University as an undergraduate and was granted my doctorate at Long Island University. I returned to school for an MBA from Columbia University.

PDR: What was the first comic book you ever read?

NA: Probably an Archie while at camp.

PDR: What were your favorite comic books growing up?

NA: Archie, Batman and Spiderman.

PDR: Please tell us about The 99.

NA: The 99 is a group of superheroes based on Allah’s 99 attributes. Virtues like generosity, strength, wisdom, foresight and dozens of others all of which combine to become the super powers of superheroes wit the caveat of course that no one superhero has more than one attribute and no one attribute is manifested to the degree that Allah possesses it. These are attributes that Islam shares with all civilizations but unfortunately are not adjectives that are used to describe Islam in the media today.

PDR: Please tell us about the FIHQ award you won recently?

NA: The Brazilian press has been fantastic in its coverage of The 99. As a result of this, I was one of the recipients of the FIHQ award this summer (winter in Brazil!) along with Peter Kuper. I was very honored and am hopeful that The 99 will help bridge the cultural divide.

PDR: What inspired you to create a superhero team that is based on Islamic culture?

NA: As a psychologist I worked with former POWs and Survivors of Torture. Because of my language skills, my patients were predominantly from the Islamic World. This led me to an empty feeling that our kids had no modern day heroes to emulate. I decided to create these heroes. As for the spark-that was pure luck meeting a solid education. My sister casually reminded me that I had promised to go back to writing for children after having self imposed an exile on my pen for several years due to being frustrated by local censors. My response to her was that after all my education-whatever I chose to do had to have the potential of Pokemon. This is where luck played a part. Had I said Disney or Marvel-the following chain of thoughts would not have been triggered. My following thought was that Pokemon had been banned in some countries as there was a fatwa issued against it-my next thought was “oh my God..what happened to Islam and who are these ignorant-hateful gatekeepers>-my next thought was of Allah and how disappointed this must make him-my next thought was of Allah’s 99 attributes. This brought me full circle tot he Pokemon-thus was the spark that initiates this journey...

PDR: How do you think people will react to superheroes that are of Muslim faith?

NA: Islam is used as an archetype in the property but the books are not religious. There is no mention of Islam or Muslims or prayer or Allah, etc...These books will be Islamic in the same vein that Marvel and DC’s heroes are based on a Judeo-Christian archetype yet we rarely see a church or a bible in these stories.

PDR: How did you get involved in the comic book industry?

NA: Again-luck. When I decided to get into creating heroes for the Islamic World, I sent an email to the Columbia Business School community asking for advice. A fellow alumnus told me that he had just finished shooting a documentary entitled “Sex, Lies and Superheroes” where he interviewed top people at Marvel and DC. He brokered introductions to a few people including Tom DeFalco-Marvel’s famed Editor in Chief. This led to our acquisition of Cracked Magazine and the hiring of a couple of Marvel Veterans including former publisher Michael Hobson and former head of marketing Sven Larsen (who lives in Kuwait now!) With such top caliber management talent came introductions to great writers and illustrators and The 99 was well on its way. In the interim we became Marvel and Archie’s Arabic language partners.

PDR: How can someone contact you?

NA: My email is [email protected] . www.teshkeel.com

PDR: If you can have 6 dinner guests, 3 fictional and 3 real, who would they be and why?

NA: Pat Conroy is my favorite living author-he is living proof that some talent can not be taught.
John Lennon who I was obsessed with as a child and young adult-he was living proof that artists can change the world.
The Prophet Mohammed who was a brilliant marketer and strategist.
The fictional guests would have to be the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. They defined my childhood and they may as well be the two brothers and sister that I actually do have.

PDR: What is the most unusual thing that has ever happened to you?

NA: The Islamic cartoon controversy spurred by that little nobody newspaper in Denmark was the equivalent of the Red Sea parting for Teshkeel. The New York Times interviewed me in Dubai in early December. Because of a variety of factors- mostly outside of the reporter’s hands (his new baby daughter was born/there was yet again a few hundred deaths in the Mecca pilgrimage) my interview was pushed for over 6 weeks and finally came out on January 22nd- a few days before the Islamic World exploded over the cartoon defamation of the Prophet Mohammed. Had my interview been published when it was supposed to be-we would have been old news by the time the controversy came about. Had the article been released a few days later- we would have been seen as posers-trying to cash in on the mental anguish of others. Instead- we became THE Islamic Cartoon company and everyone wanted to talk to us and write about The 99. This led to a lot of opportunities.

PDR: Your thoughts on the comic industry?

NA: I think that the Middle East is the last virgin territory for comics. We are fortunate to be in the business at the time that we are.

PDR: What cons are you going to?

NA: I was at the licensing show but will unfortunately not be at any cons. Maybe next year.

PDR: What movies, cartoons and TV shows are your favorites?

NA: Movies: Forest Gump
TV Shows: 24
Cartoons: I used to love Speedy Gonzales!

PDR: What books do you read?

NA: I am a novel junkie. I go in reading and writing phases that do not coexist. I am now in a writing phase. My favorite author is Pat Conroy-he does to the mind what Dan Brown’s books do to the mind. I like Caleb Carr and Wally Lamb. As a young adult I became hooked on Robert Heinlein for about 40 books!

PDR: What are your hobbies and recreational activities?

NA: Spending time with my 4 boys. That’s about all I have time for anymore.

PDR: What comic books do you read now?

NA: I read everything we publish in Arabic. All of Marvel and now Archie.

PDR: That ends the interview, any last words of wisdom?

NA: Since I “found myself” in the comic world when only a few years ago I was working at a hospital, I would like to quote John Lennon from his song Beautiful Boy “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans.”
