Palestine #6
In "Refugeeland," Joe Sacco continues his immersive reportage with a powerful conversation with an Islamic lawyer defending a man accused of an honor killing, capturing the weight of justice and cultural tension in the region. As a quiet observer sits nearby, challenging Sacco with pointed questions—especially about the purpose of his work—the issue deepens into a thoughtful, unflinching look at testimony, accountability, and the limits of storytelling. Drawn and lettered by Sacco himself, with cover art by him as well, this 1994 Fantagraphics issue remains a stark, intimate chapter in his groundbreaking chronicle.
