We Are Not Strangers

Josh Tuininga's We Are Not Strangers (2023–present, Harry N. Abrams) is a single-issue graphic novel that explores the true story of a Japanese American community in Seattle during World War II, focusing on the bonds of friendship and solidarity across ethnic lines. Rooted in historical research, it highlights the quiet heroism of those who resisted injustice. This compact, resonant work matters for its intimate, human-scale take on a pivotal chapter of American history.
