`Olivier Kugler is an extraordinarily skilled journalist and cartoonist who is taking comics journalism to a new level. These potent profiles from the migration front lines will leave an indelible impression on your brain and heart.' Joe Sacco; `These messages are really powerful but in a form that we're not used to seeing them in.' Jo Good, BBC Radio London; 'There's no doubting that his evocative portrayal of the plight of Syrian refugees captures the pure humanity of one of the greatest international crises of our time. Mostly documenting his time with Medecins Sans Frontieres this is an unforgettable record of Kugler's meetings with both individuals and families in Iraqi Kurdistan, Kos and the jungle camp at Calais.' Broken Frontier.
