Dunn, Alexander Dunst, Jared Gardner, Edward C. Holland, Isabel
Macdonald, Brigid Maher, Ben Owen, Rebecca Scherr, Maureen Shay,
Marc Singer, Richard Todd Stafford, and Oyvind Vagnes The Comics of
Joe Sacco addresses the range of his award-winning work, from his
early comics stories as well as his groundbreaking journalism
Palestine (1993) and Safe Area to Gorazde (2000), to Footnotes in
Gaza (2009) and his most recent book The Great War (2013), a
graphic history of World War I.First in the series, Critical
Approaches to Comics Artists, this edited volume explores Sacco's
comics journalism, and features established and emerging scholars
from comics studies, cultural studies, geography, literary studies,
political science, and communication studies. Sacco's work has
already found a place in some of the foundational scholarship in
comics studies, and this book solidifies his role as one of the
most important comics artists today. Sections focus on how Sacco's
comics journalism critiques and employs the "standard of
objectivity" in mainstream reporting, what aesthetic principles and
approaches to lived experience can be found in his comics, how
Sacco employs the space of the comics page to map history and war,
and the ways that his comics function in the classroom and as human
rights activism. The Comics of Joe Sacco offers definitive,
exciting approaches to some of the most important-and
necessary-comics today, by one of the most acclaimed
journalist-artists of our time.
