  I will invent the comic
By Mazen Kerbaj

Lebanon’s most noted comics artist boldly exposes how it’s all done.

   
    Mazen Kerbaj was born in Beirut in 1975 and has lived there since.  His main passions are comics, painting, and music.  In March 2000, he published some of his more personal works in his Journal 1999  (a dairy in comics).  He has published eight other books and many short stories.  Also in 2000, he performed in his first concert, at the Strike's pub in Beirut.  This concert, a duo with Lebanese sax player Christine Sehnaoui, was probably the first improv music concert in the Middle East. In 2007, l'Association published his book Beyrouth, juillet-aout 2006. (www.kerbaj.com)
