PRIDE of Baghdad, Brian K. Vaughan, Niko Henrichon (Vertigo, 2009)
BY: Matthew Hundley |
A MODERN DAY PARABLE
Graphic Novel: PRIDE of Baghdad, Brian K. Vaughan, Niko Henrichon (Vertigo, 2009)
The lions had nearly forgotten what it was like in the wild. They had grown accustomed to their keepers, feeding times, conversations with other animals through the cage bars. One day the keepers ran off. There were earthshaking blasts which destroyed their cages. The pride of lions hit the streets with newfound freedom and newfound fears. PRIDE retells a real story of four lions who found short-lived freedom after a U.S. bombing raid, and serves as a parable for the plight of the Iraqi people in post-Saddam Baghdad.

On my desk is a little vase of flowers cut from our yard, a little reminder of the beauty that is all around if we only have eyes to see. I've needed that reminder after reading the latest news of the horrific oil spill in the Gulf. Such glory in this world, such brokenness. Such hope, such deep need for redemption. These are the realities of life and death we seek to explore on this web site. Thank you for visiting.
