First Hand is an anthology of non-fiction
graphic narratives that portrays the lives of real
people and reflects on the extraordinary – often
heart-breaking circumstances of their lives
First Hand, is an anthology of non-fiction graphic narratives that portrays the lives of real people and reflects on the extraordinary – often heart-breaking circumstances of their lives. Stories and events that often get glossed over or reduced to statistics in the news media are brought to life in this comic through a combination of written word and illustration. Writers, artists, reporters, activists, researchers, designers, anthropologists, academicians, and film-makers have lent their experience, knowledge and craft to make this happen.
A campaign has been launched on the crowd funding platform BitGiving, to help cover the costs of creating this anthology. The funds acquired will be used to compensate the various people who have given their generous narrative and artistic contributions to the anthology. The limited initial print run of First Hand Volume 1 is sold out, and efforts are being made to raise enough funds to enable production on a larger scale to cater to the interest this book has already garnered. People who support this campaign and contribute funds via BitGiving will be offered some rewards – posters, notebooks, signed copies of the book – as a token of gratitude.
