In "When Good Bombs Happen to Bad People," Joe Sacco presents a stark, illustrated chronicle of aerial bombings during World War II and the Cold War, weaving firsthand accounts from politicians, military figures, and media reports with his precise, evocative artwork. Drawn and lettered entirely by Sacco, this powerful issue uses stark visuals and direct quotes to confront the human cost and moral ambiguity of strategic bombing. The cover, also by Sacco, sets a somber tone that matches the gravity of the subject matter.
