Is the Middle East ready for truth, justice and the American way? Though his entire mantra may not remain in tact, Superman is set to fly to the troubled part of the world again via a multi-year agreement between DC Comics and Teshkeel Media Group. Under the deal, Teshkeel will publish Arabic, Arabic-English and Arabic-French versions of DC comics, trade paperbacks and magazines in the Middle East and North Africa.
Headquartered in Kuwait, Teshkeel publishes comics and other children’s entertainment products. Its first DC program will kick off this week with a special publication tied in to the regional release of the Warner Bros. feature Superman Returns. Other planned publications will feature such popular DC properties as Batman, Teen Titans and Justice League. Teshkeel also publishes local versions of Marvel Comics and Archie Comics, as well as its own original title, The 99.
