First, "Doing Justice for Shake Girl" profiles one class as it worked to tell a real woman's tragic life story in graphic novel form, discovering huge challenges collaborating as a group and getting the story right. Second, in "A Portrait of War" Emily Prince takes on the overwhelming and somber task of drawing a portrait of every American soldier who has died during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. |
