Reg Saunders: An Indigenous War Hero

In 2015, Newsouth Publishing released a single-issue comic honoring the real-life story of Reg Saunders, the first Indigenous Australian to be commissioned as an officer in the Australian Army. This biographical work brings a pivotal chapter of Australian military and Indigenous history to the comics medium, offering a respectful and accessible portrait of Saunders's service during World War II. The project stands as a notable example of using sequential art to preserve and share underrepresented historical narratives.
