Pride of Baghdad; written by Brian K. Vaughan and art by Niko Henrichon


Unbelievable. Stunning. Gorgeous. Disgusting. Fascinating. A must read.
This graphic novel was unbelievable. Truly. The artwork is incredible, yet bloody at appropriate moments. This one isn't for junior high readers. When American bombers attacked Baghdad in April of 2003, the zoo was bombed. Animals were suddenly free. Vaughan took this plotline and makes the animals talk. The result is stunning.
