The Story Of An Idea

The story of an idea is a 10 page comic by Jean Giraud about the origins of the Red Cross and Red Crescent movements.  It is available for free as a pdf, or as a hard copy.  It’s a fairly standard awareness comic, with a straightforward storyline and a lot of explanation, but Giraud’s artwork make it quite remarkable.
