Graphic Novels for Justice
Jessica
Visual storytelling has a unique ability to immerse the reader. An illustrator's language is a language of its own, which expands a narrative in all directions, operating on levels we might not even be aware of as we flick through pages, discovering a detail here, some heart-breaking beauty there, between image and text.
These are some graphic novels, and visual works of non-fiction, which bring resistance and fights against injustice and oppression to life like nothing else could. Somehow, having read them, you come out not only full of rage and empowerment - but also with a revitalised imagination, and an urge to create.
Do check out our other graphic novels too! There's plenty where this came from.
