The deluxe edition includes additional materials at the back featuring sketches, Vaughn’s original pitch, and a short discussion of the characters that reveals some of the allegorical intent behind their design. In Pride of Baghdad, Vaughn imagines the quartet of lions crossing the embattled city and acting as political allegory for the people of Iraq affected by the war. They were later shot and killed by US soldiers. In April of 2003, four lions escaped from the zoo in Baghdad, Iraq during a US bombing raid.
