Barefoot Gen Volume Seven ― "Bones into Dust" ― Gen has grown old enough to think about the legacy of the victims of the atomic bombing. Picking up from Volume Six, the story opens with Gen searching for a printer willing to publish an eyewitness account of the bombing written by "Papa," the journalist who serves as a father figure to Gen's war orphan friends. By hook and crook Gen and Ryuta manage to get the book printed and distributed, only to arouse the wrath of U.S. Army censors, who teach them a hard lesson about the politics of memory. Meanwhile, Gen's brother Koji returns home at last, only to find that their mother is on her deathbed.
Barefoot Gen Volume Eight ―"Merchants of Death" ― It's 1950 and Gen is now in middle school, where he meets both a progressive-minded schoolteacher at odds with his conservative superiors, and a brilliant but cynical classmate who challenges the teacher's -- and Gen's -- values at every turn. Gen also finds himself confronting the corrosive effects on postwar Hiroshima society of drugs and the arms industry. With the Korean War offering new business opportunities, a new generation of death merchants holds sway in Japan. Gen, his teacher mentor, and other peace-minded citizens are forced to struggle against red-baiting school officials, violent nationalists, and government censorship.
Tel Aviv: En ung mann - Koby Franco - blir oppringt av en kvinnelig soldat, som forteller at hans far kan ha vært offer for en selvmordsaksjon i Hadera. Med denne historien som ramme, gir Rutu Modan, en av Israels mest kjente serieskapere, et interessant og veltegnet portrett av dagens Israel.
"Exit Wounds is a profound, richly textured, humane, and unsentimental look at societal malaise and human relationships and that uneasy place where they sometimes intersect. Rutu Modan is a deeply insightful writer and artist and there's no question in my mind that Exit Wounds places her in the top tier of cartoonists working today" - Joe Sacco
