Mai El Shoush's "Drawn"

Journalist Mai El Shoush created her own graphic novel "Drawn" in response to the excess of objectified, largely decorative female characters in contemporary comics. El Shoush's heroine Rayann Lawsonia (the binomial name for the henna tree is Lawsonia inermis) receives her superpowers from a mystical henna drawing.

Drawn was released by Jabal Entertainment in 2013.
