Joe Sacco is well known as an unflinching chronicler of the injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people (Palestine, 1993; Footnotes in Gaza, 2010). He continues this mission with War on Gaza, a series of graphic commentaries on Israel's rampage that began more than a year ago and continues relentlessly today. Published in instalments on The Comics Journal's website, War on Gaza is a series of comics and single-panel illustrations that lay bare the naked immorality of the 'war' itself and its dire and tragic consequences. Employing his trademark combination of honesty, compassion, and dark humor, Sacco's War on Gaza is an uncompromising critique of Israel's genocide and the complicity of President Joe Biden and the United States.

Reviews for War on Gaza

Not an easy read, but an essential, necessary indictment of political systems, military aggression, and global and personal complicity.-- ""Library Journal Starred Review"" With his ever keen and incisive eye on events it's some of Sacco's finest work ... This isn't easy reading, and it may not be the kind of material that you want to be experiencing in the lead-up to the holiday season, which only makes it all the more important that you do. We live in a dark and bleak timeline. We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the moral obscenities that surround us. Essential reading.-- ""Broken Frontier"" A biting commentary...-- ""Kirkus Reviews"" Sacco's novella-length follow-up to 2009's Footnotes in Gaza sounds a short but sustained scream of despair. ... it's a bracing slap in the face of complacency.-- ""Publishers Weekly""
