The invisible war : a tale on two scales
Wild, Ailsa2016
Book
An illustrated science-history graphic novel exploring parallel experiences during WWI. The fictional story takes place on two different physical scales - the macro-scale, from the point of view of a Victorian nurse supporting troops in the trenches of the Western Front - and simultaneously on the micro-level, from the point of view of the gut microbes which fight to keep her body alive when she contracts dysentery.
