Beyrouth - Juillet-août 2006 #[nn]

Published by L'Association in 2007, this work by Mazen Kerbaj presents a raw, immediate document of Beirut during the summer of 2006. The cover's small but arresting illustration shows the city's golden skyline — minarets, church steeples, and urban blocks — beneath a churning mass of dark smoke and storm clouds, with Arabic text inscribed below like a caption from the city itself. Spare, hand-drawn, and quietly devastating, it's a reminder of what comics can achieve when an artist bears witness in real time.
