I’ve been turning more and more to comics that take place in different countries. It feels like there’s a difference in the quality of drawing between a local and a tourist. Comics journalism also falls into this category: artists like Joe Sacco and Guy Delisle draw incredibly detailed visions of the countries they’re visiting to report on. Although I still read comics in other planets and time periods and universes, comics set in the real world that take place in different countries can feel just as far off. These comics give a nice sense of travel without violating any international mandates. 

Memoirs, Journalism, and More Comics Set Outside of the U.S.

I don’t imagine I’ll be going anywhere outside of my neighborhood these days. However, I’ve been working to embrace the stay-putness of the current moment and continue to explore what’s close to me. Luckily, reading has always been a form of traveling.
