Future Comic alert: The Boat by Nam Le and Matt Huynh is gorgeous

It’s been a while since we had a good :future comic” on this site, as they’ve become way too inexpensive to produce, but here’s one that is beautiful, inventive AND moving. The Boat adapts the internationally acclaimed Dylan Thomas Award-winning story by Nam Le about Vietnamese resettlement in Australia following the fall of Saigon in 1975. It was commissioned by Australian TV network SBS and their interactive unit has created a scrolling graphic novel that uses limited animation, archival footage, text, gorgeous hand drawn art by Matt Huynh and sound design by Sam Petty (Animal Kingdom, The Rover) sound to tell this story.
