CONFLICT COMICS

A graphic novel from Afghanistan that casts a spotlight on a war which resulted in the death of 46,319 civilians, cost trillions $$$ of tax payers money, and saw the Taliban return to power months after international forces withdrew.

Set in Afghanistan's deadliest province, “Helmand” interweaves true stories, with a satirical diplomats tale to provide a front row seat, to an inaccessible war.

A collaboration between British and Afghan artists; beautiful illustrations, meticulous research, and expert political analysis, give readers a front row seat to an inaccessible war.

The debut project of Conflict Comics, a collective dedicated to telling real war stories.
