Palestine Joe Sacco In late 1991 and early 1992, around the time of the first Intifada, Joe Sacco spent two months with the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, compiling what was to become 'Palestine.' The book combines the techniques of eyewitness reportage with comic-book storytelling to tell his experience. He captures the essence of a heavy situation with, at times, great humour. The nine-issue comics series won a 1996 American Book Award and is collected here in one classic volume. |
