POLIS: The Trial of Socrates
POLIS: The Trial of Socrates is a three-part historical graphic novel that takes place in ancient Athens. It's the story of how one of the greatest free thinkers in the ancient world was executed by the era's most democratic city. It also tells the story of how his student Plato transformed from an aristocratic politician into the founder of Western philosophy.
Chapter 1, The Restoration: Defeated by Sparta in the Peloponnesian war, the Athenian democracy has been toppled and replaced by a puppet government known to history as The Thirty Tyrants. Socrates clashes with the unofficial leader of the tyrants, Critias. The latter happens to be the older cousin of Aristocles, or as we know him, Plato.
The Restoration comes to a climax when the exiled democratic forces invade Athens and oust the false government. Socrates risks the battlefield to find a young friend drafted into Critias' army, and in doing so he makes a powerful enemy. Plato fights against the democrats and must choose between defeat and cowardice. In the end, the democracy is restored, and the stage is set for the case against Socrates.

Syria - Rage and Uprising
Trigger Warning:
This comic is recommended for people over 13.
Syria - Rage & Uprising is the first part of the Syrian modern history in brief which goes back from early 1900th to 2000th when the brutal dictator Hafez Al-Assad died & his son "Dr" Bashar al-Assad imminently took over the role as the next dictator.
This comic is pro-democracy, pro-human rights & pro-correct history!
This belongs to the unheard and not to the filthy conspiracy-theorists, far-right wings, disillusioned white leftists & so-called pacifists who had supported the dictators genocide against its own people in the name of what?! "Stability?" "Peace?"
I'm sorry, but there is no such thing as peace without justice!
Remember you are reading at your own risk! Thank you!
P.S. My friend translated the comic from Swedish to English & my friend's identity will remain anonymous & so does all the people I've talked to on social media through the years. Their identities will remain hidden.
