☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers Joe Sacco's groundbreaking comics journalism from his 1990s travels in the Gaza Strip, originally serialized in the Palestine series. It documents the daily realities of life under Israeli occupation through firsthand interviews and Sacco's detailed, unflinching artwork, offering a deeply human perspective on a complex conflict.
In "Refugeeland," Joe Sacco continues his powerful, on-the-ground reporting from the occupied territories, weaving together intimate conversations and stark realities. Through a series of personal encounters—from a visit to a historic grave to a night spent with Sameh’s family and a harrowing account from a mother who lost two sons—Sacco captures the enduring weight of displacement and memory. The issue’s stark, unflinching artwork and narrative, all drawn and written by Joe Sacco, are matched by his own cover, a quiet yet potent visual echo of the stories within.

Finally, in Rafah, a family details how they were displaced after Egypt and Israel signed the peace agreement and redrew the border.
