A powerful comic-book format delivers the full force of Hurricane Katrina and its impact on New Orleans. When the storm hits, Brown hits readers with the consequences: flooding, fear, frustration, desperation, and death. Meticulously documented facts and quotes from victims caption the commanding art. If a book's power were measured like a storm's, this would be a category five. Bib.
