Description
Cairo 1922. With a handful of friends, the belly dancer Aida Nur locates an old Egyptian tomb. Through her contacts, she tries for an easy escape from poverty by selling its antique treasures on the black market. But the news of the intact vault attracts all kinds of greedy types without scruples – from the nightclub owner Mohassib to the 7th Earl of Curmudgeon.
A period crime story.
New restored edition
In 2022, Aida Nur was published in the German ZACK Magazin. For this occasion, the complete Aida Nur comic was rescanned from the original drawings and colourings and digitally restored and embellished by Sussi Bech.
