The Human Part of War

PEREMOHA: Victory for Ukraine (Nepemora) by TokyoPop and others

February 9, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

“Written and illustrated by Ukrainian creators” these idealistic stories within PEREMOHA: Victory for Ukraine (Nepemora) show the strength of the little person and how the horrors of war unfold. The stories follow the civilians and soldiers front and center. There are war images, some language (though some is “bleeped out”) and just the idea of war could be triggers, however, overall, things are well done and not graphic for graphic sake. Most of the action happened in 2022 so it has become a piece of […]

Lily Renee, Escape Artist: From Holocaust Survivors to Comic Book Pioneer by Trina Robbins

October 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Later I came across from it and for some reason was compelled to do an interlibrary loan request for it. I know I was not sure what it was about (okay, so the title should have given me a clue, but even then, nope. Nothing. I […]

War Bears by Margaret Atwood

March 17, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

People study the history of a nation. They study the history of that nation’s literature. They study how wars happened, the facts during and the aftermath. But do they ever write about the history of the Comic Book? The Graphic Novel? War Bears is an homage to “The Canadian Whites” and a history of World War Two. Moral back home was important, but also important was the moral of the troops. And the comics that “boys (and gals) back home” made kept spirits up. And […]
