[HNA] Graphic History of the Honduran Coup

[Simon Rios]

 Dear friends,

My name is Nikil Saval -- I'm an assistant editor at the magazine
n+1<http://www.nplusonemag.com/>,
and a graduate student in literature at Stanford University. My colleague
Dan Archer, a comics journalist and instructor at Stanford (his website is
www.archcomix.com), and I have put together a graphic history of the coup in
Honduras. Intended essentially as a primer to the crisis, the comic also
places the coup in the context of US-Central American relations of the
postwar period.

The comic was published<http://www.alternet.org/world/143325/striking_graphic_history_tells_story_of_honduras_coup_and_unrest/>on
Alternet on October 17, and since then it has received coverage in
BoingBoing <http://www.boingboing.net/2009/10/18/honduran-coup-in-web.html>,
 The Guardian (UK)<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/21/comic-graphic-history-honduras-coup>,
the magazine of School of the Americas Watch
"Presente,"<http://www.soaw.org/presente/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=247&Itemid=74>and
the news website Opera
Mundi <http://operamundi.net/noticias_ver.php?idConteudo=1696> (Brasil).

I'm writing to share the comic with you and to get your thoughts. I've also
pasted into this e-mail the Spanish translation that we've done. We'd like
to get it up on an easily accessible website, but Dan and I are only
familiar with national news media in Latin America, and not more
international sources. We would greatly appreciate any thoughts and advice.
Many, many thanks in advance.

In solidarity,
Nikil
