The Photographer: Into war-torn Afghanistan with Doctors Without Borders
The Photographer was published in English by First Second books in May 2009, but I only recently borrowed it from my library (libraries are awesome). Like some of my favorite comic books (Palestine, Barefoot Gen, Persepolis, Maus), it's a historical autobio. Middle Eastern history always confuses me, but this book does a good job of explaining what was going on in 1986 Afghanistan. I know there's not much of a demand for this kind of work here, but it was such a good book that I just had to share it.

"He has the strength of ten tigers.
You never find him, he finds you.
He has a thousand eyes and a thousand ears.
His voice turns blood into ice.
He who sees the his face, dies a horrible death.
He is the Ghost who Walks. The Phantom. The Man Who Cannot Die."
He also sometimes team up with America's Coolest Founding Father. Like in this story.

Iran: Some History from Ennis & Moore
Jun. 18th, 2009 02:11 amjlroberson.insanejournal.comI've been watching the events in Iran--what one can find out through the web, because the networks are blind--and was reminded of some work by Garth Ennis and Alan Moore that, at least in scraps, helps give a little bit of context to our historical place in this whole mess.
