Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey, Syria, and Iraq #[nn]
"Prologue" from Sarah Glidden’s *Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey, Syria, and Iraq* opens with a quiet but charged encounter as Glidden and her companions meet members of Iraq’s Kurdish community, including Sam Malkandi—a man whose life was upended after his name surfaced in the 9/11 Commission’s report. Amid the weight of history and displacement, tensions rise as journalist Sarah Stuteville presses Dan for deeper responses, searching for the emotional truth that eludes her. Drawn and colored entirely by Glidden, the issue’s stark, intimate style grounds its powerful exploration of memory, identity, and the lingering echoes of global events.
