Derniers jours de guerre (Bosnie 1995-1996) #[nn]

Joe Sacco's unflinching journalistic eye turns to Bosnia in the final stretch of its devastating conflict, and this French-language volume from Rackham collects his on-the-ground work from 1995–1996. The cover's muted, sepia-toned illustration of three lean, prowling dogs sets an atmosphere that is quietly unsettling — a fitting emblem for a world where the ordinary and the harrowing exist side by side. If you appreciate comics journalism that takes its subject seriously and earns every page, this 2006 edition is a compelling addition to your library.
