The Wolf of Baghdad.
Carol Isaacs on stories of the lost Jewish population of Iraq. Carol's
graphic memoir of lost homeland (on Myriad Press) is a wordless
narrative illuminated by family portraits and testimonies, which comes
to life panel by panel as a motion comic with its own musical
soundtrack. Music transports her avatar to the old Jewish quarter of
Baghdad, which she explores, accompanied by the wolf, a talismanic
animal believed to protect from demons but who is unable to prevent
devastation from befalling the community.
