It is with immense pride that we acknowledge FEEDING GHOSTS as the first graphic novel to receive this distinction since Art Spiegelmanβs MAUS was recognized in 1992. This historic achievement is a testament to the remarkable work of Tessa Hulls, to whom we extend our sincerest congratulations.
Just an incredible piece of visual storytelling from the great @mattyhuynh.bsky.social www.theverge.com/cs/features/...
From @mattyhuynh.bsky.social: A US military psy-op tried to scare Viet Cong soldiers with tape recordings of Vietnamese βghosts.β This comic confronts its strange echoes reverberating 50 years later.
The Americans demoralized the Viet Cong with recordings of "ghosts" and congratulated itself on scaring the superstitious enemy. Then Hanoi Hannah began her English-language broadcasts. Part history lesson, part personal essay β every part a work of art: www.theverge.com/cs/features/...
In Vietnam, the war is called "the American War."
The Verge's package commemorating the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon is now fully live: www.theverge.com/cs/features/...
a headline reads: Behind the Scenes: the extras of Apocalypse Now. the headline sits next to an illustration of a man set against a Vietnam battlefield and a sky full of helicopters
Artist @cathylinhche.bsky.social's parents were extras in Apocalypse Now. But in trying to recenter their experience in her own work, she wondered: whose story was it to tell?

This is beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated. Itβs so good to see The Verge supporting artists like Matt Huynh in a world otherwise filled with AI slop. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...
There are many remnants of the war. A very literal one is the millions of tons of bombs still scattered across Vietnam that will still take hundreds of years to clearβand that was before Trump pulled funding.
a black and white illustration of a helicopter swirling in the air. it's blasting out silhouetted ghostly forms that are saying things: "Friends... while you are still alive... there is still a chance you can be with your loved ones." "Do you hear what I say? Go home... go home friends... hurry..."

The second story from our American War series is this stunning comic by @mattyhuynh.bsky.socialβgenuinely one of the most impressive things weβve ever published
This week @theverge.com is publishing a series on the legacy of the Vietnam War. I wrote about the generation of children who were adopted from the war. While reporting this, I was struck by how historically singular the experiences of this group of people are.

Weβre dropping a new story each day this week. A wide range of work from Viet writers, with accompanying work by a Viet illustrator, and even a Viet fact checker!
"In the following days and weeks, I watched my city become the latest historic American tragedy."
Post disaster reporter Brianna Sacks is used to covering other communities affected by natural disasters not her own β until the Los Angeles wildfires hit.
as a young illustrator in Sydney, an AD once asked me to redo an illustration because it felt too much like Brad Holland. I wasnβt referencing Holland, wasnβt looking, hadnβt actively engaged with his work, but even so thatβs how giant a shadow his talent cast over many generations of βreal artistsβ
But... we're really stuck this time. And without the help of the arts community, we're not going to make it. Your shares and support are greatly appreciated.
