1984 Comic Synopsis

 

 

1984 is the story of Winston Smith.
Winston works in the records department in the ministry of truth
rewriting history for the Ingsoc Inner party and its figurehead: Big Brother.
Winston wrestles with the notion that he, along with all outer party
members, are being lied to and manipulated. In an effort to get a
handle on reality, he sets his thoughts on paper, and therefore commits
the worst of crimes: Thoughtcrime!
