(W) Brian K. Vaughan (A/CA) Niko Henrichon. Written by Brian K. Vaughan Art and cover by Niko Henrichon
From one of America's most acclaimed comics writers a startlingly original look at life on the streets of Baghdad during the Iraq War inspired by true events. In his award-winning work on Y: THE LAST MAN and EX MACHINA (one of Entertainment Weekly's 2005 Ten Best Fiction titles)* writer Brian K. Vaughan has displayed an understanding of both the cost of survival and the political nuances of the modern world.
Now* in this provocative graphic novel* Vaughan examines life on the streets of war-torn Iraq. The experience is made all the more evocative by the lush* spectacular artwork of Niko Henrichon (BARNUM!). In the spring of 2003* a pride of lions escaped from the Baghdad Zoo during an American bombing raid. Lost and confused* hungry but finally free* the four lions roamed the decimated streets of Baghdad in a desperate struggle for their lives. In documenting the plight of the lions* PRIDE OF BAGHDAD raises questions about the true meaning of liberation can it be given* or is it earned only through self-determination and sacrifice? And in the end* is it truly better to die free than to live life in captivity? Based on a true story* Vaughan and Henrichon have created a unique and heartbreaking window into the nature of life during wartime* illuminating this struggle as only the graphic novel can.
