Graphic novel illustrates Chelsea Manning’s trial

Chelsea Manning’s name is a staple of American headlines, but much of her trial and imprisonment was cloaked in secrecy. A new graphic novel–based on court documents and Manning’s first-person account, and illustrated by Clark Stoeckley–provides an accessible but unsurprisingly disturbing glimpse into her treatment in prison and the courtroom. Check out an excerpt after the jump and then buy the book here.
