Footnotes in Gaza #[nn]

Joe Sacco — the acclaimed author of Palestine and Safe Area Goražde — brings his unflinching comics journalism to bear in this 2009 work from Henry Holt. The cover's dense, black-and-white illustration depicts a crowd of figures with arms raised, rendered in Sacco's characteristically detailed draftsmanship, immediately conveying both the weight and humanity of his subject matter. Footnotes in Gaza promises the same rigorously reported, deeply empathetic approach that has made Sacco one of the most respected voices working at the intersection of comics and documentary storytelling.
