Cartooning Syria

Hani Abbas's Cartooning Syria (2017–present, a single issue) is a stark, black-and-white comic from Jurgen Maas that documents the Syrian conflict through the eyes of a journalist-turned-refugee. Written and drawn entirely by Abbas, this work distills the horrors of war and the resilience of its people into a series of powerful, often wordless panels. It stands as a vital, firsthand testimony to the human cost of the crisis, rendered with the raw urgency of a cartoonist who lived through it.
