9-11
Scope and Contents
Minicomic by autobiographical-comics artist Colin Upton. This comic begins in the early-morning hours of September 11, 2001 as Upton first learns of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, and follows him each year as he documents the aftermath of that day. Upton reflects on the causes of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the power of religious fanaticism, the media's coverage of the wars, and the disconnect between the public and what is happening in the Middle East.
