Kabul Disco #1

Nicolas Wild's Kabul Disco arrives with a cover that perfectly sets its self-deprecating, darkly comic tone — a bespectacled, yellow-shirted everyman clings to a burqa-clad figure while scrambling across a desert landscape, a tank barrel jutting into the foreground behind them. The subtitle, "How I Managed Not to Be Abducted in Afghanistan," signals exactly the kind of wry, personal storytelling you're in for. Published by Life Drawn/Humanoids in 2018, this graphic memoir promises an intimate, humor-tinged look at life in one of the world's most precarious places.
