In late l991 and early 1992, at the time of the first Intifada, Joe
Sacco spent two months with the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip, travelling and taking notes. Upon returning to the United States
he started writing and drawing Palestine, which combines the techniques
of eyewitness reportage with the medium of comic-book storytelling to
explore this complex, emotionally weighty situation. He captures the
heart of the Palestinian experience in image after unforgettable image,
with great insight and remarkable humour.
The nine-issue comics
series won a l996 American Book Award. It is now published for the first
time in one volume, befitting its status as one of the great classics
of graphic non-fiction.
