Palästina

Joe Sacco’s Palästina is a landmark work of graphic journalism, originally published in the early 1990s and collected in this single-volume edition by Edition Moderne in 2009. Through Sacco’s meticulous, unflinching reportage and detailed black-and-white art, it documents his travels in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the early 1990s, offering an intimate, ground-level look at Palestinian life under occupation. The book is widely regarded as a foundational text in the comic medium’s capacity for serious, long-form nonfiction.
