Artist Profile: Nargile Comics


AsmallNargile Comics is a collaboration between Michael Ide and Tasos Anastasiades. Their first project is the graphic novel titled ‘Fascista‘.

Tasos Anastasiades is a Lecturer in Graphic Design at the European University Cyprus. In 2004 he started publishing the “Plastic Comics” magazine, the first comic book created and published in Cyprus. He is a Co-Founder and Organizing Member of Cyprus Comic Con.

For more information, join the Nargile Comics group on Facebook and visit their website.

The idea for Fascista started as a single image that was displayed at a gallery where Michael Ide, an American freelance writer offered to cooperate with Tasos Anastasiades in the script developing and writing part.

The graphic novel Fascista is set in an unnamed city that is undergoing intense protest, and mostly follows an apolitical engineer who wants to be left to his tinkering. But one of his inventions captures the interest of a newly formed police unit tasked with ending the protests as well as protest organizers who both believe it will give them an edge in the ongoing street battles.

The story revolves around concepts such as the suppression of free speech, protesting, propaganda and control of the masses. The graphic novel also deals with other issues such as the choices that people make and how the future is affected by them.

And lastly, a few samples from Tasos Anastasiades’ freelance work:

Team MSYD Hearthstone Legend’s Brawl @ CCC’15!


Everyone! Ha ha. Lookee now, we’ve got a “guest”! Well, well.

Welcome to the Grim GuzzlerThe Grim Guzzler’s brawls are epic tales of legend.

One such legend talks of eight great heroes fighting their way through countless enemy minions and competing for immeasurable glory and fame!

This ain’t no good old-fashioned tavern brawl! Keep reading and you will understand…

It all started when Team MSYD was created.

The birth of Team MSYD was vested upon the absence of a gaming umbrella for gamers in Cyprus and their passion to help the gaming community.

Currently, Team MSYD are focusing solely on Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, which is an online collectible card game developed by Blizzard. Hearthstone, as its motto suggests, is deceptively simple and insanely fun! Which means it is very friendly to new gamers but extremely hard to master, even for card game or strategy savvy players.

Team MSYD‘s aim has been to elevate the quality of gaming in Cyprus as well as provide a platform to aid gamers via guidance, tournaments and an organised group to enhance their gaming experience.

In just 10 months Team MSYD, has become the biggest and most active Hearthstone group in Cyprus, having 860 members, of which over 30 having achieved the rank of legend, and successfully organised 7 Hearthstone tournaments!

Naturally ambitious, (a necessary trait for a gamer) Team MSYD’s vision is multilayered and quite grandiose. First and foremost, they aim to promote the group and attract more members, because they understand that the people hold the quintessence of the group. As gamers themselves, they strive to create a better community for the gamers and a cooperative as well as challenging environment, appealing to the whole spectrum of members. Furthermore, their immediate goals for the following year are to institutionalise Team MSYD, use every endeavour possible to put Cyprus on the international map, expand to other games, and most importantly, be able to provide better rewards for their members!
