Guantánamo Kid: The True Story of Mohammed El-Gharani

Told with clear-eyed restraint, Guantánamo Kid adapts the real-life ordeal of Mohammed El-Gharani, a teenager swept up and detained at Guantánamo Bay. Published by SelfMadeHero beginning in 2019, this single-issue graphic novel pairs writer Edward Gauvin with artist Alexandre Franc to render a crucial, humanizing account of a story too often reduced to headlines. It matters as a document of moral urgency and as a testament to the power of comics to bear witness to contemporary injustice.
