Die wohl eindrucksvollsten Werke Abedins waren jene aus der „Famine Series“. In dieser Serie zeichnete er die vor Hunger sterbenden Menschen am Strassenrand. So dokumentierte er die Hungersnot von seiner dunklen Seite mit skelettartigen Figuren, die dem Tod ins Auge schauten. Auf diese Weise konnte er die inhumane Geschichte seines Landes mit menschlichen Emotionen zum Ausdruck bringen. Das bestärkte auch die eigens hergestellte Tinte aus verbrannter Kohle mit der er auf einfachem Packpapier malte.
