Here's a blurb:
Um .... riveting.The graphic novel follows the 'adventures' of Zana, Max et al at the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Department – known as ECHO – as they struggle to secure funding for the fictional sate of Borduvia, which has been devastated by an earthquake.
Written by a Belgian graphic novelist Erik Bongers, Hidden Disasters – a cross between Tintin and Thunderbirds: International Rescue – contains such immortal dialogue as: "We must inform the Commissioner! She's briefing the European Parliament on the earthquake tomorrow."
OK, you must tell me if you think this story is more mock-able than Captain Euro, which I laughed at years ago.
Then again, isn't it just typical of government bureaucrats that they think they're so much more awesome than they are? so much more ... messianic?
