In honor of Israel's 70th Independence Day, it seemed right to venture into this massive anthology, set 20 years prior, made by Israeli cartoonists and comics, including Dudu Geva, Moshik Lin, Zeev Engelmir, Friedel Stern, Shlomo Cohen, Avner Katz and many others.

This book's massive scope is beyond what I was first expecting and branches off in so many directions as we follow this chronological bundle of history lessons that epitomize our nation.

I do have to note that, though, I enjoyed the majority of these stories, the ones leaning towards the end of the book had me aggravated because of the indifference (and utter disrespect) coming from the artists from a mile away.

Putting that aside, I'd like to highlight my favorite spreads, incorporating mixed medium illustrations that had me looking around the page at every detail for hours:


















Lastly, Koolulam's performance of “Chai” to commemorate Holocaust survivors and their families was on a loop in my mind during my reading.
