| The cover of Aaron and Ahmed |
A time when George W. Bush can appear presidential in
hindsight and the medium of comics is forced to deal with appalling images
masquerading as conversation starters may be a good time to revisit an old Vertigo
graphic novel, one that directly tackled such weighty concepts as Islamophobia,
9/11, and America’s complicity in terrorism. I’m writing about Aaron and Ahmed
by Jay Cantor and James Romberger, which I picked up at FlameCon last year.
Published in 2011, it’s an intense read, far more than certain comics that
attempt to be challenging when covering such important, relevant topics.
