shannon_aThis was the one other major book that I found done by Josh Neufeld, who also wrote & drew the terrific A.D. and did the art for the very interesting The Influencing Machine. The subtitle says it all, "... and Other Stories from Southeast Asia & Central Europe". It's a travelogue of major events, in comic book form.
I agree with the introduction that says that comics are in an ideal form for travelogues, as they can not just tell you about a place, but show it too. My favorite story in here was of a 6-7 hour tour of some caves somewhere in Southeast Asia, which includes lots of wading through rivers and some crawling through really tiny spots. Other than that, I thought the book was mostly meh. I guess I'm not a huge fan of the travelogue form.
