“Aida Nur” by author/artist Sussi Bech has been sold for publication by a publisher in Estonia. The contact was finalized and signed the same week as the print run of the new Danish version arrived from the printers in Latvia.
New 2023 edition
During 2021/22 Aida Nur was published in the German ZACK Magazin. For this occasion, the complete Aida Nur series was rescanned from the original drawings and colourings and digitally restored and embellished by Sussi Bech. The new edition will be published Denmark in September 2023.
No publication date has yet been set for the Estonian version of “Aida Nur”.
“Aida Nur” is a period crime story set in Cairo in 1922. With a handful of friends, the belly dancer Aida Nur locates an old Egyptian tomb. Through her contacts, she tries for an easy escape from poverty by selling its antique treasures on the black market. But the news of the intact vault attracts all kinds of greedy types without scruples – from the nightclub owner Mohassib to the 7th Earl of Curmudgeon.
