The Fixer and Other Stories

Joe Sacco’s The Fixer and Other Stories, a single-issue collection published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2009, presents a pair of his earlier, long-form journalistic comics from the mid-1990s. The book’s centerpiece, "The Fixer," is a harrowing, first-person account of Sacco’s time in Bosnia, following a local intermediary through the chaos of the Yugoslav Wars. It stands as a vital, unflinching document of the conflict and a key work in Sacco’s pioneering fusion of comics and investigative reporting.
