Description: Brought To Light Graphic Docudrama Moore Christic Institute Secret Scandal CIA Covert 11 x 8.5 inch graphic novel with two books in one. Flashpoint & The La Penca Bombing. Brought to Light (1989) is a graphic docudrama presented as a comic book that consists of two distinct stories. It was co-published by Eclipse Comics and comes with a politically charged narrative. The stories are: 1. “Shadowplay: The Secret Team” – Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Bill Sienkiewicz. This part of the work is a scathing critique of covert CIA operations, focusing on the Iran-Contra affair and other dark aspects of U.S. foreign policy. Moore used a blend of graphic storytelling and surrealist art to expose the activities of the CIA’s “secret team.” 2. “Flashpoint: The La Penca Bombing” – Written by Joyce Brabner and illustrated by Thomas Yeates. This story recounts the bombing of a press conference in Nicaragua, which killed several journalists and severely injured American journalist Tony Avirgan. It delves into the details of the attack and the investigation that followed, linking it to U.S. foreign policy in Latin America. The combination of these two stories paints a grim picture of U.S. government activities during the Cold War, making Brought to Light a unique and bold political statement in the form of a graphic novel.
