Palestine

Joe Sacco’s nine-issue series Palestine, published by Fantagraphics from 1993 to 1995, is a landmark work of comics journalism that chronicles the artist’s travels through the West Bank and Gaza Strip during the early 1990s. Through densely detailed black-and-white art and firsthand interviews, Sacco documents the daily lives, frustrations, and resilience of Palestinians under Israeli occupation, as well as his own experiences as an outsider. The series helped define the genre of graphic reportage, earning acclaim for its unflinching, human-scale approach to a complex political conflict.
