Comic: Joseph and Yusra

I adore this comic and thought I would share with you. This is the tale of a young girl named Yusra and her friend Joseph. An odd pair to be sure, these two share an unusual bond that affects both their lives in a variety of ways. Adorable, heartwarming, and sometimes a little crazy it is an absolutely beautiful story with fantastic artwork. You can't help but fall in love with the warm heart of Yusra.

You may read the comic here. Make sure you start from the beginning or it won't make any sense.

The author is not muslim but has taken it upon herself to do a great deal of research on both Islam and Orthodox Judaism prior to writing this wonderful tale. If you have any criticisms or Naseeha for her please leave it in the comments section of this post NOT on her website. I will pass them to her. I want to avoid her accidentally getting attacked. Please leave your suggestions here and I will pass them along.

Enjoy. It's really quite a clever story. Mary is also very intriguing :)

  2. Thanks for sharing this. I just spent the last hour or so reading through it, couldn't stop. It's very good, and surprisingly (for me) really touching. I'm not much of an art or comics person but maybe I could be, cos I found that the visuals tell the story in a really moving way. Nearly moved to tears in fact. Aw!

  3. I'm so behind! I think Im on chapter 5 such a bad reader. I got up to the point where she introduces Mary and that was that.

    I was moved to tears a few times. Its such a lovely but heart breaking story.
