RAKAN SINDI and KALI BAKER-JOHNSON met in the fall of 2012 as graduate film directing students at Chapman University. Rakan got Kali into video games, Kali got Rakan into comics, and before they knew it, they were collaborating on a short film about a young Saudi Arabian girl with otherworldly powers that was still struggling with the problems of the real world. The ideas behind that film morphed and grew into ZAHRA THE SHADOW FLAME, a story they realized needed to be told outside of film. In 2018 the duo established ADAM COMICS to follow the adventures of Zahra and feature other fantastical stories exploring how true heroism comes from unexpected people in unexpected places.

Zahra Darwesh is the last in a line of mystically-powered women who are linked to the history of the Middle East and will be the ones to decide its future. It's a thrilling story filled with high fantasy, sci-fi, social commentary, and good ol' fashioned teen angst, in the tradition of characters like Harry Potter and Spider-Man.
