A review by geekwayne
The Stan by Kevin Knodell, David Axe
4.0
'The 'Stan' by Kevin Knodell and David Axe with illustrations by Blue Delliquanti is a series of 17 illustrated nonfiction stories from the recent conflict in Afghanistan.
The stories are from people who live in Afghanistan and American soldiers who were in the country. There are stories of diplomats and soldiers embedded with locals. There are ex-soldiers and soldiers who defused bombs. There are people whose lives changed due to helping and how they had to change their lives.
The stories are all fairly short, but still really interesting, and help tell the story of a long and ongoing conflict. The art by Blue Delliquanti really works to tell these personal stories.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Myrick Marketing & Media LLC, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
