Burma Chronicles

From 2009, Guy Delisle's Burma Chronicles (published by Jonathan Cape) offers a quietly observant travelogue drawn from the author's year spent in Myanmar. Through Delisle's clean, expressive linework and Helge Dascher's translation, the single-volume comic captures the everyday rhythms of life under a repressive regime—from diplomatic social circles to the subtle tensions of daily survival. It stands as a nuanced, human-scaled portrait of a country rarely seen in Western comics, blending personal anecdote with political reality.
