Yossel April 19, 1943 #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis graphic novel by Joe Kubert tells the story of a young Jewish artist in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II, imagining an alternate history where Kubert's own family remained in Poland. The title refers to the date the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began, and the book follows Yossel, a boy whose talent for drawing helps him survive the horrors of the Holocaust. Originally published in 2003 by ibooks, it stands as a powerful, deeply personal work from one of comics' most revered creators.
"Yossel" is a powerful, harrowing story from Joe Kubert, both written and illustrated by the legendary artist, capturing a single moment of resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto. Through Yossel’s quiet defiance and his drawings—both a lifeline and a weapon—the narrative unfolds with stark emotional weight, rooted in the real and unflinching. The cover, also by Joe Kubert, mirrors the story’s solemn intensity, a visual echo of the final, haunting sketch left behind.
