review 1: I'm conflicted about giving this a certain number of stars since these writers were clearly going for something different than most other graphic novelists. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this. The artwork is vivid and nuanced and peculiar in that Sacco way, and the overall de...

review 1: Angustiós reportatge del fets de Rafah del 1956 en que fa un magnífic excercisi de comparació entre el que va passar el 1956 i el present. La meticulosa reconstrucció i repetitiva seqüència de fets, junt amb un meticulós excercisi de recreació fotogràfica de la realitat dona una ...

review 1: This is the most impressive book I have encountered in a very long time. It is a staggering wordless graphic history of the first day of the battle of Somme. In one continuous panel Sacco depicts the progression of the bloodiest day in World War I. It is a remarkable format for a...

review 1: Outstanding work by Sacco and essential reading for anyone who has appreciated his full length books such as Safe Area Gorazde and Palestine. These shorter pieces are wide ranging in time and place but the most impressive ones are the longer ones, on African refugees in Malta, on...
