1) METRO by Magdi Shafee
2) ARMY@LOVE by Rick Veitch
3) SAMANDAL by various
4) PALESTINE by Joe Sacco
5) ARAB IN AMERICA by Toufic el-Rassi

7) IN THE SHADOW OF NO TOWERS by Art Spiegelman
8) JINNARRATION by Asia Alfasi

NOX doesn't seem to have a functioning website, but I've got a copy of the magazine and could send some scans so you know I'm not making all
this up.
