Palestine

Jonathan Cape published this single-issue comic in 2003, a landmark work of graphic journalism by writer-artist Joe Sacco. The book distills Sacco's firsthand reporting from the West Bank and Gaza Strip into a searing, black-and-white documentary of Palestinian life under occupation. Often cited as a foundational text in the rise of serious nonfiction comics, it remains a touchstone for the medium's power to bear witness to political conflict.
