Recs if you like Footnotes in Gaza...

Memoirs, histories, guidebooks. Real life narratives told through creative expression.

Notable comics, graphic novels and mangas to get into the genre. This format of books is so underrated, so I wanted to create a diverse list of notable works across the history of 'comics'! I tried to highlight nonfiction and fiction works that are recognizable to the widest variety of people (mostly because of their adaptation), while also adding less widely known books. The goal of the list is to help find at least one 'comic' you want read, if you don't really read 'comics'! (inspired by Les 1001 BDs by Trécarré)

themes: liberation, decolonisation, non white authors, anti zionism, social justice, Palestine

A selection of fun and interesting graphic non-fiction. This is by no means exhaustive and I only included one book per author to keep this from getting cluttered, so feel free to use this as a starting point and explore!
