Even the pages used for credits or to end the book lend themselves to the story in subtle ways. Pride of Baghdad is a book where every page is used to tell the story and the art carries so much of that story. The highest compliment I can pay to this gorgeous artwork is that you could pull all of the speech bubbles from the comic and it would still be an incredible read. Review – Pride of Baghdad continues below A beautiful book, Pride of Baghdad offers us a rare setting and a unique story. While initially rooted in truth, the story told about these four lions is ultimately a fictionalized story of four anthropomorphized lions. The creators based Pride of Baghdad on a true story of lions who escaped the Baghdad Zoo during the Iraq War in 2003, specifically an American bombing during the Fall of Baghdad. Pride of Baghdad was printed as a complete volume, as opposed to the more traditional serialized format.
