Two panels from “Banned Book Club” An up close of the protagonists face as she confronts a classmate, saying: “Funny how if you were reading his dystopian sci-fi novel with a minor subplot about fascists ruling Korea, you’d be TAKEN TO JAIL.” The text bubble spills over into the second panel, where the classmate looks as though she’s seen a ghost, her face in shadow and a bead of sweat dripping down her cheek. The speech bubble crams into her: “So you gotta wonder. Do they ban books because they see DANGER in their AUTHORS, or because they see THEMSELVES in their VILLAINS?”
Got chills reading these panels in BANNED BOOK CLUB by Kim Hyun Sook, Ko Hyung-Ju, and Ryan Estrada.
This book should be required reading. #comicrec
