Yossel April 19, 1943

In this hauntingly personal graphic novel from 2003, Joe Kubert imagines an alternate history where his own family never escaped pre-war Poland, telling the story of a young Jewish boy named Yossel who uses his gift for drawing to survive the Warsaw Ghetto. Published by ibooks as a single, self-contained issue, Kubert serves as both writer and artist, channeling his signature gritty, expressive style into a deeply emotional exploration of art, identity, and resistance. The work stands as a powerful testament to the Holocaust's human toll, rendered by one of comics' most revered storytellers.
