Bagdad Journal

A single, self-contained work from German publisher Carlsen Comics, Bagdad Journal (2006) stands as a stark, personal document of the Iraq War from the perspective of a journalist embedded in the conflict. Its sole issue distills the harrowing experience of reporting from a war zone into a concise, powerful graphic narrative. This series matters as a focused, unflinching example of comics journalism, capturing a specific moment of modern warfare with the intimacy the medium allows.
