IRAQ: OPERATION CORPORATE TAKEOVER
Available:
Price: £5.00
Publisher: Boychild Productions, Creators: Sean Michael Wilson & Lee O'Connor
Format: A5 Perfect Bound b/w interiors, Pages: 80
Boychild Productions has made a graphic novel with the well respected UK charity War On Want.
The book portrays, from a grass roots level, how certain corporations are operating for profit, not people. Roughly in the vein of Joe Sacco's 'Palestine', written by Sean Michael Wilson, illustrated by Lee O'Connor, and based on the extensive research carried out by War on Want.
Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs) are making a killing in Iraq, while remaining unaccountable for countless human rights abuses and deaths by mercenary soldiers. The comic paints the picture of one young Iraqi man’s efforts to understand and cope with this new reality – and do something about it!

A wonderful showcase for exciting manga creators, Manga Mover is in a squarebound format, and oozes quality. Also half of the book reads from cover to centre - western style, while the second half of the anthology reads from the back cover to the centre - oriental style.
The Editor of the book, Sean Michael Wilson said: "I thought this would give the book a kind of symmetry".
