For every $200 contribution, I will commission my artist to draw a caricature of the contributor. I will mail you a copy of the art, and also publish it as an acknowledgment in the graphic novel resulting from this project.

Pledge $400 or more Pledge $400 or more

In addition to the caricature and acknowledgment, I will send you some kind of keepsake from Congo. What exactly, I can't say yet. But I promise it will be something you can't get anywhere else in the world.

Connected as David Axe (622 friends)

I am a freelance journalist and war correspondent and the author of several books. Since 2005 I have reported from Iraq, Lebanon, East Timor, Afghanistan, Somalia, Chad, Congo and other conflict zones. I have contributed to C-SPAN, The Village Voice, The Washington Times, Wired, Esquire, Voice of America, BBC Radio, Politico, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science and many other media outlets. I write comics: my graphic novel WAR FIX (NBM, 2006) won several awards. My latest graphic novel WAR IS BORING came out from New American Library in August 2010. I have written two nonfiction books: ARMY 101 (USC Press, 2007) and WAR BOTS (Nimble, 2008) -- with another, FROM A TO B, slated for publication by Potomac Books in November. I blog at www.warisboring.com.
