The Unwanted: Stories of the Syrian Refugees

Don Brown both writes and illustrates this single-issue graphic novel from Houghton Mifflin, offering a stark, compassionate look at the Syrian refugee crisis. First published in 2018, it distills the human cost of displacement into a powerful, accessible narrative that resonates beyond its slim page count. Brown’s signature watercolor style brings dignity and urgency to true stories of survival, making this a vital work of journalistic comics.
