Palestine #2

In "Taxi," Joe Sacco delivers a quiet, powerful glimpse into life in the Balata refugee camp, blending firsthand observation with intimate storytelling. Through a mix of text and illustrations, he traces the camp’s origins and shares a day spent navigating its streets, staying with a local family, and visiting a school—each moment revealing the weight of history and resilience in small, everyday acts. The issue’s stark, personal narrative is rendered entirely by Sacco, whose own voice and hand shape both the story and its visual tone.
