This heart-wrenching novel explores what it is like to be thrust into an unwanted marriage. Has Naila’s fate been written in the stars? Or can she still make her own destiny? Naila’s conservative immigrant parents have always said the same thing: She may choose what to study, how to wear her hair, and what to be when she grows up—but they will choose her husband. Following their cultural tradition, they will plan an arranged marriage for her. And until then, dating—even friendship with a boy—is forbidden. When Naila breaks their rule by falling in love with Saif, her parents are livid. Convinced she has forgotten who she truly is, they travel to Pakistan to visit relatives and explore their roots. But Naila’s vacation turns into a nightmare when she learns that plans have changed—her parents have found her a husband and they want her to marry him, now! Despite her greatest efforts, Naila is aghast to find herself cut off from everything and everyone she once knew. Her only hope of escape is Saif . . . if he can find her before it’s too late.

Na primavera de 2003, um bando de leões escapou do Zoológico de Bagdá durante um bombardeio norte-americano. Perdidos, confusos, famintos e finalmente livres, os quatro leões perambularam pelas ruas destruídas de Bagdá numa batalha desesperada pela sobrevivência. Inspirando-se numa história real, Brian K. Vaughan e Niko Henrichon criaram um ponto de vista único sobre a vida durante a Guerra do Iraque, lançando luz sobre esse conflito como apenas uma graphic novel é capaz de fazer. Retratando o drama dos animais, OS LEÕES DE BAGDÁ levanta algumas questões sobre o verdadeiro significado da liberdade – ela pode ser dada ou apenas conquistada por meio de luta e sacrifício? Vertigo e DC Comics orgulhosamente apresentam uma nova edição da graphic novel aclamada pela crítica. Este volume traz a história integral de PRIDE OF BAGHDAD, além de novos textos dos autores e artes inéditas sobre a produção da obra em 168 páginas de quadrinhos e extras.
