Mighty
Assyrians: The Exodus is being released and is available now. It has maintained
its originality but with more images and illustrations.
Tony
Shalalo has published his second comic book, The Mighty Assyrians.
In
this book, The Exodus, Mr Shalalo illustrates the costumes and traditions of
Assyrians during the Saint's memorial days and festivals and the athletic
competitions they practised during these festivals.
Also,
this comic book illustrates the sufferings and the battles Assyrians fought for
their existence.
In
his first book, Mighty Assyrians: A tale of a forgotten people, Mr Shalalo
illustrated the meaning of the Assyrian tribe's names and the responsibilities
each tribe had to carry in a war.
In
his second book, Tony illustrates the plots and wars against the Assyrian
nation during the leadership of Mar Benyamin Shimun, Catholicos-Patriarch,
XXI of the Church of the East.
We
will meet some courageous characters willing to sacrifice their lives to
protect the nation.
Tony
based his stories on historical documentation, reports and books written by
Assyrians who lived at that time.
