Joe Sacco - Palestine, by saltandiron on Dec 3, 2007 17:01:12 GMT 1, Anyone here read 'Palestine' by Joe Sacco? It's a comic based on the time Sacco spent in Palestine and Israel around the time of the first intifada. Most of it recounts interviews he had with everyday people in the area and it's a powerful piece of art and journalism.
Well worth a read, go and buy it from you local comic store. It'd make a great christmas present!

Yeah, Maus is in a league of it's own really. I've lent it to a coouple of people who 'don't read comics' and they've all said it was amazing. Obviously it's also relevant to the situation in the Middle East in it's own way

Joe Sacco - Palestine, by monstris on Dec 3, 2007 20:29:01 GMT 1, I've got all them books and agree that Maus is a hard one to beat....
Allow me to plug my friend Jon Sack's "iraqi oil for beginners" comic...first of a series he's promised. Not in the same league as Maus but his aim is more "channel 4 news in comic form".
