Pride of Baghdad / written by Brian K. Vaughan ; art by Niko Henrichon ; lettering by Todd Klein. - 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 27 cm

"Inspired by a true story." "Suggested for mature readers."

In the spring of 2003, a pride of lions escaped from the Baghdad Zoo during an American bombing raid. Lost and confused, hungry but finally free, the four lions roamed the decimated streets of Baghdad in a desperate struggle for their lives. In documenting the plight of the lions, Pride of Baghdad raises questions about the true meaning of liberation -- can it be given, or is it earned only through self-determination and sacrifice? And in the end, is it truly better to die free than to live life in captivity?
