We Served the People: My Mother's Stories

In We Served the People: My Mother's Stories, writer-artist Emei Burell brings a deeply personal lens to Boom! Studios, chronicling her mother's experiences growing up during Mao's Cultural Revolution in China. This single-issue comic distills a family history into a poignant, illustrated narrative, exploring memory, resilience, and the quiet acts of service that defined an era. It stands out as an intimate, debut work that bridges generations through the power of comics.
