Borders

Thomas King and Natasha Donovan's Borders, published by HarperCollins in 2021, is a poignant, single-issue graphic novel that explores themes of identity, belonging, and the arbitrary nature of national boundaries through the story of a Blackfoot family's journey across the Canada-U.S. border. This standalone work, adapted from King's own short story, stands as a vital, quietly powerful entry in contemporary comics for its gentle yet incisive look at Indigenous experiences and the human cost of geopolitical divisions.
