Pjöngjang

Guy Delisle’s Pjöngjang, published by Reprodukt since 2007, is a standalone graphic travelogue that offers a quiet, observational look at life inside North Korea’s capital. Known for his deadpan, documentary-style comics, Delisle records the surreal bureaucracy, isolation, and everyday absurdities he encounters during a work stint in the city. This single-issue work stands as a key entry in his acclaimed series of travel memoirs, valued for its understated, humanizing perspective on a notoriously closed society.
