In his graphic-novel memoir War Is Boring: Bored Stiff, Scared to Death in the World’s Worst War Zones, David Axe chronicles the unspoken ravages and less-than-romantic experience of being a war correspondent.
Loosely based on the web comic of the same name, Axe’s unconventional account is bolstered by Matt Bors’ stark illustrations. From fleeing a movie-theater mob in Somalia to hard-partying local guides in Lebanon, War Is Boring features engrossing adventures and encounters with the people and places that don’t make headlines.
