Babylon Burning: A Graphic History of the Making of the Modern Middle East

In 2019, Last Gasp launched Babylon Burning: A Graphic History of the Making of the Modern Middle East, a singular, ongoing comic project by artist Toufic El Rassi. As of its first issue, the series aims to distill a century of complex regional history into a visual narrative, tracing the political and social forces that have shaped the modern Middle East. El Rassi's work brings a critical, informed perspective to a story often oversimplified in mainstream media, making it a vital resource for readers seeking a deeper understanding through the comics medium.
