Arts en striptekenaar Charles Masson duikt in het onzegbare, waarbij hij verhalen put uit de harde realiteit van zijn medische beroep. Met empathie, menselijkheid en soms bijtend sarcasme onthult hij menselijke sterktes en zwaktes. Zijn snelle, expressieve tekeningen en meesterlijke verteltechnieken, die vaak spelen met het contrast tussen tekst en beeld, roepen sterke emoties op en nodigen uit tot reflectie. Massons werk wil het zwijgen doorbreken over moeilijke onderwerpen, confronteert de lezer met ongemakkelijke waarheden en wekt hun bewustzijn.

Charles Masson was a thorn in the side of the British Indian government. A deserter from the East India Company's army, who became an explorer, Masson was a passionate observer of the people of the North-West Frontier of India and Afghanistan. He spent time in Lahore, Peshawar and Kabul and was the first European to identify the remains of the ancient city of Begram.
