A new bilingual comic book, “When Eagles Soar,” examines the shared leadership qualities of George Washington and Abylai Khan, despite their geographical distance and different cultures. Written by Bek-Ata Daniyal from Shymkent and illustrated by Abylay Karin from Astana, the comic book highlights the parallel lives of these two figures who lived during the same historical period. The Astana Times reports that the work aims to explore themes of leadership and state-building through a unique visual medium. “When Eagles Soar” offers a fresh perspective on historical figures by connecting the stories of an American founding father and a prominent Kazakh leader. The comic book is published by The Astana Times, a news and information source for Kazakhstan and international news. It provides a comparative study of leadership in different contexts.
