Palestine

Joe Sacco’s Palestine is a landmark work of graphic journalism, originally serialized in two issues by Fantagraphics in the mid-1990s. Combining meticulous reportage with stark, expressive black-and-white art, Sacco documents his travels through the West Bank and Gaza Strip, capturing the daily realities of Palestinians under occupation. The series broke new ground by proving that comics could serve as a powerful, intimate medium for long-form nonfiction, influencing a generation of artist-reporters.
