Watching Violence from Abroad

Lior Zaltman's Watching Violence from Abroad (2015–present) is a single-issue comic that examines the visceral, often uncomfortable distance between witnessing global conflict from a place of safety and the reality of that violence. Published as a standalone work, the comic is defined by Zaltman's stark, evocative art and a narrative that interrogates the ethics of remote observation. It matters as a concise, powerful meditation on the modern experience of consuming news and imagery of war from afar.
