review:
'Tears of An Afghan Warlord' is a true story by Pascale Bourgaux and co-written by Vincent Zabus with art by Thomas Campi. It details a trip to Afghanistan in the early 2010s.

Pascale Borgaux is a Belgian journalist who has been travelling to Afghanistan for years. She has been there when things are more prosperous, but this time, there is some poverty and belt tightening. Her host is a resistance fighter named Mamour Hasan who is feeling the pressure from those around him to let the Taliban regain control. It seems that much of the aid money hasn't made it to his province. Pascale and those helping her document their trip find themselves in a bit of danger and have to leave the country.

The art is quite good and fairly colorful. The story is compelling and shows what can happen after your country has a war and some of the combatants leave. It's an ongoing story, so there is no resolution here, but I found it very interesting.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
