Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea

Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea By: Guy Delisle In 2001, French-Canadian cartoonist Delisle traveled to North Korea on a work visa to supervise the animation of a childrens cartoon show for two months. While there, he got a rare chance to observe firsthand one of the last remaining totalitarian Communist societies. He also got crappy ice cream, a barrage of propaganda and a chance to fly paper airplanes out of his 15th-floor hotel window. Combining a gift for anecdote and an ear for absurd dialogue, His retelling of his adventures makes a gently humorous counterpoint to the daily news stories about the axis of evil, a Lost in Translation for the Communist world. Delisle shifts between accounts of his work as an animator and life as a visitor in a country where all foreigners take up only two floors of a 50-story hotel. Delisle s simple but expressive art works well with his account, humanizing the few North Koreans he gets to know (including "Comrade Guide" and "Comrade Translator"), and facilitating digressions into North Korean history and various bizarre happenings involving brandy and bear cubs. Pyongyang will appeal to multiple audiences: current events buffs, Persepolis fans and those who just love a good yarn. *** Enjoy and Please SEED *** Comic Crew: SOME GUY - http://thepiratebay.se/user/MrDowntown/ THE MASTER - http://thepiratebay.se/user/mirrormaster82/ DYNAMO KID - http://thepiratebay.se/user/GunningHawk90/ BULK UPLOADER - http://thepiratebay.se/user/joshua13/ 0-DAY WARRIOR - http://thepiratebay.se/user/shipJ/ THE OTHER DUDE - http://thepiratebay.se/user/jormis29/ Check out our torrents, post [reasonable] requests on our most recent torrents.

 MrDowntown (2011-07-24)

I try! Feel free to recommend anything bizarre.
I JUST finished reading this - Its absolutely amazing. You almost feel like you're there - I actually felt nervous reading this. I really wish more non-fiction was done in Comic form.
*note* Appears to be a scanning error on Page 176 - though you can still easily follow the story. If I find another copy Ill Up it.
