A review by nishbaindur
Democracy by Alecos Papadatos, Annie Di Donna, Abraham Kawa
5.0
'Democracy' is definitely one of the best graphic novels out there. It was fast-paced and the metaphysical element is *chef's kiss*!
It places a fictional 'common man' in the center and explores the birth of democracy in Greece, alluding to real people and places of Greek myth and history. I had forgotten so much of Greek history and still enjoyed it because it's all explained very well at the end of the book, which I deeply appreciate.
Of course, I have to fangirl over the illustration, because look at it!! Just the artwork is enough to get you hooked. It's gorgeous and vivid and different to other graphic novels I've read! I strongly strongly recommend this book if you're looking for a quick read, some Greek history, or a graphic novel in general.
