Virunga: Africa's Oldest National Park by Stanford University Graphic Novel Project
5.0

I'd had this graphic novel on my shelf forever, but recently watched the moving documentary also called "Virunga" that talked about a lot of the same issues as this book. The graphic novel sets a similar scene with many different characters: park rangers, refugees, various militia groups, wildlife in the park, etc. showing the complexity of the conflicts over resources, money, and people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I'm also just impressed that this was completed by college students; I remember going to the release party and hearing about how much work goes into creating something like this.
