A very comprehensive, yet comprehensible version of The 9/11 Commission report: final report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. The graphic novel format makes this important document accessible to a wider section of the American public by crystallizing the facts and pairing them with realistic drawings that accurately depict the somber and serious subject matter and convey the mood of key figures. A foreward by 9/11 Commission Chair, Thomas H. Kean, commends this version for its "close adherence to the findings, recommendations, spirit, and tone of the original commission report."
I highly recommend The 9/11 Report: A graphic adaptation by Sid Jacobsen.
