Comics are always connected to kids, teenagers and younger adults although there are actually many types of comics and the contents varies from those suitable for the younger'uns to those of mature age. However, the younger viewers are more attracted to comics because of the graphics and the stories that are usually funny and comedic.
When I was younger I enjoyed reading Gila-Gila and Ujang and I have a few favourite comic and caricature artists from those magazines. I also enjoyed Datuk Lat's work a lot. I have some manga favourites and sometimes I read them on the internet. However this post is actually not about discussing my favourite comics and mangas, instead I am going to introduce an interesting comic book that I have just discovered.
The title is "33 Pesan Nabi" (33 Messages from the Prophet), authored by an Indonesian comic artist Vbi Djengotten or his real name, Veby Surya Wibawa. He is, as I quote from an article in Jakarta Post, a prolific artist that can find humour from subjects ranging from the hadith (the words and deeds of Prophet Muhammad) to Facebook. His book that I am reviewing here is Malay Language translated version, distributed in Malaysia by Humaira Bookstore Enterprise. The price is only MYR14.90 and what's inside is the graphic interpretation of 33 Prophet Muhammad's hadiths related mainly from Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim. The way the hadiths were interpreted is so nice and attractive, easy to understand, reflects the hadiths well and the graphics are beautiful and clean. This comic book is sure to connect to readers of all age range and suitable for leisure reading while learning more about hadiths that are also the important source of life guidance to Muslims besides the Quran.
A good book to read and to share with others.
