Joe Sacco

Emerging from the fertile pages of Drawn & Quarterly in 1992, Joe Sacco is a Copper/Modern Age figure whose presence spans an impressive three-plus decades of literary comics history. Published under the celebrated Drawn & Quarterly banner — the same house that nurtured icons like Chester Brown, Seth, Joe Matt, and Dennis Eichhorn — this character occupies a meaningful corner of the alternative comics world that defined serious, artistically ambitious storytelling from the early '90s onward. With appearances in landmark collections including Drawn & Quarterly: Twenty-Five Years of Contemporary Cartooning, Comics, and Graphic Novels and Notes from a Defeatist, Joe Sacco is woven into the very fabric of what made Drawn & Quarterly essential reading for anyone who cares about comics as literature.
