I saw the completed book at the ComicsPro meeting in Memphis and it’s every bit as great a follow up to Alan’s War as I thought it would be.
While the book is indeed impressive (shortlist for 2009), seeing the silver prints enlarged, with captions, really shows the reality of what the photographer witnessed. I hope the exhibit travels, so that others may see.
(My only criticism… where is the hardcover Collector’s Edition?)
