Grass

Keum Suk Gendry-Kim's Grass is a quietly devastating graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly, published in 2019. It tells the true story of a Korean woman forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II, based on years of interviews with a survivor. Rendered in Gendry-Kim's stark, evocative black-and-white art, the book is a vital work of historical testimony and a powerful addition to the canon of nonfiction comics.
