Published by D & Q, this 176-page hardcover by 37-year-old French-Canadian cartoonist, Guy Delisle is eye opening graphic reportage in the tradition of Joe Sacco, but in an entirely different style. Granted a two-month work visa to contribute to a French animated film that depended on the labors of North Korean animators, Delisle gained a rare vantage point from which to observe the people and workings of most isolated nation on earth, and he reports his observations and insights here, in a straight forward clean line style that will be readily apprehended by the least experienced reader of comics and readily appreciated by the more seasoned comics hand.
