Summer Competition
Our fun UK summer competition finishes on June 30th. Many thanks to all those UK fans of AK Comics who have entered so far. All the entries have been excellent. Here are just three of them to keep you excited:
Tom Watson's team is called Arabian Knights and is based on well-known figures. There's Ali Baba - he controls an army of 40 robots, each of whom has a different skill. There's Djinn - a sorceror's apprentice; a comic character whose sorcery sometimes goes wrong! The third member of the team is Scheherazade who is able to tell stories that become true as she is telling them (!) and finally there's Cleopatra, who is able to leave men breathless and weak with her beauty and who commands the snakes and all the other creatures that live in the desert.
That's a great effort Tom - well done! Tom is only 11 years old, folks!
Then there's Leila Kadir who has based her team on Arabian heroes from the Middle Ages. There's Prince Sandokan, a swashbuckling character who sails a ship through the skies; Then there's Prince Antara - a combination of Robin Hood and King Arthur. Antara becomes stronger and more powerful when the beautiful lady Ablah is close to him, but as she moves further away........ . The third of Leila's team - which she calls the League of Arab Heroes - is Meera, who wanders Panarabia bringing love to those who deserve it and who has the power to turn evil back upon itself. Then, finally, from an earlier period - there's the Queen of Sheba who is the leader of the team, of immense intelligence and a wide range of psychic powers that she is still exploring. WOW!!! Can't wait to read more from Leila - well done!
Chris Robinson has opted for a team of super-villains!! His ideas have grown from a project he is doing at school on mythology. Most of his fellow students have chosen Greece and Rome - but Chris is interested in Egyptian mythology. His super-villains called The Pantheon include: Anubis - a villain who controls a pack of jackals that swarm through a small town terrorising the inhabitants at night; Horus - a villain who controls a flock of hawks and can command them to attack the police or army units; Tefnut - a female villain who can control water, making torrential rain fall on her pursuers for example; and Sekhmet who has the strength of a lioness and can control cat-like animals of all types. Some great ideas there, Chris.
What a great bunch of kids - with wonderful imaginations. There's still time to enter this competition which finishes on June 30th. Good luck everyone!! Remember everyone who reads AK Comics is a winner.
