Comics and Graphic Works on Migrants, Refugees, Human Trafficking (35 books)

I'm hoping to expand on this list, started by Calvin Reid in Publishers Weekly, in print issue for August 6, 2018 and online here: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/b...
"Images of desperate escapes across borders are tragic jolts to the senses delivered on the news each day, online and on broadcast television. Graphic artists are producing graphic novels and works of graphic nonfiction on the human suffering taking place around the world. Comics artists are documenting the plight of migrant workers desperate for a new life, refugees fleeing political persecution and relentless warfare, and those trapped in the brutal realities of human trafficking. Alongside the nonfiction are several graphic novels—works of fiction by authors who use the creative process to vividly recreate the desperation and statelessness experienced by migrants and refugees that the nonfiction works document so well. Here’s a wide-ranging selection of recent and forthcoming graphic works on forced migration."
