Comic

Anatole France once said “history is not a science, it is an art. You don’t succeed without imagination.” Here is where the science of history meets the imagination of art. It is an excellent attempt to capture an aspect of the recent past in a different way. It is another way to learn, to get closer to the facts, to know the past in order to understand the present and shape the future. Papadogiannis, Love and Anderson faithfully depict the events and show us how individuals and collectives shape the social process and influence the course of history. Here the history of aids is written from the ground up and this history becomes accessible and understandable through the art of comics. But mostly what this project achieves is telling a scary story without scaring but inspiring. Congratulations.
