World War III exhibits the current political tension that followed the first and second World Wars.

“We believe that visual stories are the most powerful way for cross-cultures communication, and if we used internet technology as a tool of globalization and connectivity, there is an excellent shot to create a hub that bridge the gap between diverse human cultures through art and visual stories precisely through Comics,” Koshk Comics CEO Amr Hussein and creative director Mostafa Saadany told Egypt Today
