Palestine #9
In "Through Other Eyes," Joe Sacco returns to Jerusalem with a quiet, observant eye, reflecting on conversations with an Oxford student and others caught in the weight of the peace process. The story lingers on a single, haunting moment—a boy forced to stand in the rain while Israeli soldiers question him—offering a stark image that speaks volumes about the fragile, uncertain path ahead. Drawn and lettered by Sacco himself, this issue captures the emotional and political gravity of a moment suspended between hope and resignation.
