Pyongyang

Guy Delisle's Pyongyang (Placebo Press, 2013–present) is a single-issue graphic travelogue that distills the author's own experiences working in North Korea's capital. Through Delisle's signature deadpan, observational style, the comic captures the surreal, controlled isolation of Pyongyang—its monuments, minders, and everyday absurdities—as seen by a foreign visitor. A concise, quietly powerful work that bridges memoir and reportage, it offers an intimate, unembellished window into one of the world's most opaque societies.
