Mike Derderian is the founder of F.A.D.A. 317, a Discovery Stage in Jordan for comics, cartoons and graffiti among other oddities. When he is not moonlighting as a comic & graffiti artist, he is a radio disc jockey and news presenter. In 2018 he founded the comics collective Fanzeen, which is now at issue 7 and called Qader / Qadera meaning ‘Able’ in which young Jordanian comic artists have drawn inspiration from the real life stories of disabled people.

Here Mike discusses the comic scene in Jordan and launches this Fanzeen anthology at LICAF. Hosted by Yomi Ayeni.
