About the series
In 2022, Humanoids published this single-issue comic, a stark biographical work focused on the Cambodian artist Vann Nath, a survivor of the Khmer Rouge's S-21 prison. The book adapts his real-life testimony and paintings, using his own art as a visual foundation to document the atrocities he witnessed and endured. Created in close consultation with his family and drawing from his memoirs, it stands as a vital historical document and a testament to art as a means of bearing witness.
