The 'Stan

"There are no larger truths to be found in this brief graphic narrative, and perhaps there will never be. These comics do not depict a faceless enemy, but they suggest compassion, bravery, and even heroism despite the absurdities of a war with no purpose and seemingly no end." — Kirkus Reviews

"Based on on-the-ground reporting by Knodell and Axe, this realistic view of an ongoing conflict, rendered in a casual yet powerful voice, not only acts as a necessary record of experiences and sacrifice but as a humble thanks to all those who have lived—or are still living—through them."— Publisher's Weekly

"Graphic journalism at its best!…. [The ‘Stan] is a fantastic read for those who like military stories, who want real military stories, [and] who care about what’s really going on in the world."— Graphic Policy (YouTube)

“It is an enjoyable book and offers a unique insight into the conflict and those involved in it.” — Gun Mart

“The ‘Stan is a page-turning book for military enthusiasts and comic readers-alike. Sit back and relax and be taken into a powerfully charged ride filled with action, emotion, fear. This is more than a comic book, this is a visual and candid journey of life, fear, bravery, conflict.” — ComicScene UK
