(2) YA In comics format, Brown (The Unwanted) recounts the deadly Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, which brought "sickness to a third of the planet and death to millions of people." In his illustrations, Brown employs striking visual angles that produce maximum emotional impact while still conveying solid, accurate information. He succinctly traces the evolution of the medical disaster with statistics and anecdotes woven in, while his somber, muted palette expertly captures the mood of the period. Bib.
