Kaboul Disco

Nicolas Wild’s Kaboul Disco is a two-issue autobiographical comic published by La Boîte à Bulles from 2007 to 2008, documenting his time living and working in Kabul, Afghanistan, as a graphic designer for a local NGO. With a wry, observational tone, Wild captures the chaotic, often absurd contrast between Western expectations and daily life in a war-torn city. The series stands out for its candid, non-sensationalist portrayal of Afghanistan during the mid-2000s, offering a grounded, human perspective rarely seen in mainstream comics.
