  Siege of Sarajevo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The siege of Sarajevo was the longest siege in the history of modern warfare.
Sarajevo's metro-area population in 2002 was around 401,000, which was 20,000 less than the population of the city itself in 1991.
With its current growth and reconstruction, Sarajevo may one day in the not so distant future return to its late 1980s form and is clearly on the fast track to recovery, but the scars of the siege of Sarajevo on its history may never fully disappear.

 Mute magazine - Culture and politics after the net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
John Kubert's book Fax from Sarajevo is not just an account of the plight of one family during the siege of Sarajevo drawn as a strip cartoon, it is also a polemic on communication technology - its liberating and frustrating potentials.
The fax as such also serves to emphasise the unbreachable gap between the experiences of those inside and those outside the siege; its ability to skip between the two spheres mocking the restricted mobility of the Bosnian civilians.
Despite Fax from Sarajevo's provision of a provocative and open-ended discourse on the personal experience of war, its conversion into history and historical representation as such, one can't help feeling that Joe Kubert's own powers of imagination and empathy are at times sorely wanting.

 SAVANT:: Essential
No, Fax is a tough read because of the nagging guilt that plagues the reader upon hearing tales of snipers being paid extra to shoot children, ambulances being destroyed at will, and bombs being dropped indiscriminately on pedestrians.
Fax makes one’s ears burn at the thought of a campaign of terror being carried out on an entire country in the name of ethnic purity, while the rest of the world congratulated itself on ending communism and establishing peace across the globe.
Fax is, from the first page, a strong and insistent reminder that the world reneged on its promise, with the Rustemagics and the people of Sarajevo paying the price.

Over the years, though, he has created an indelible sense of the dramatic, and sometimes the veracity of the story he tells is colored or overshadowed by his graphic storytelling abilities, making the occasional scene tinted with a little too much melodrama and just a twist of disbelief.
What makes FAX FROM SARAJEVO great is how it is able to still resemble, in its artistic style, an ordinary super-hero comic book and yet transcend the simple morality and victories of that tradition in a grand and subversive way.
FAX is a work that demonstrates, perhaps most clearly to a veteran comics fan and an unschooled new reader, that comics are not just for kids, and it does so in a style that still echoes the childhood adventures that it denies.

I recently read Joe Kubert's "Fax From Sarajevo," a graphic novel which tells the story of Kubert's friend Ervin Rustemagic who was trapped with his family in Sarajevo during the war.
Rustemagic was able to communicate with the outside world only through fax during this time (and only when the electricity was working of course).
The artwork was nothing special, and the story/dialogue was a bit melodramatic and over-dramatized for my tastes, but the story itself was compelling and interesting.

This is the story of Joe Kubert’s friend Ervin Rustemagic, as he and his family struggled to preserve their lives and dignity during the 18 month siege of Sarajevo in 1992-93.
Ervin had nothing to rely on but the tenuous lifeline of a fax machine to communicate with his friends during the war.
From hundreds of faxes detailing everything from the atrocities committed in the name of ethnic cleansing to the ever-present fears and frustrations of the Rustemagic family, Kubert has expertly pieced together a truly heart-wrenching story of a very real tragedy and, ultimately, of unflagging hope.

Veteran comic book artist Joe Kubert contributed to the emerging sub-genre with Fax from Sarajevo, a 1996 work based on the missives sent by his agent, Ervin Rustemagic, who was stuck in a suburb of Sarajevo during the most intense bombing of the Bosnian War.
Isolated from the world and unable to leave, Rustemagic depended on the fax machine for two and a half years to receive news from the outside world.
During that time, he and his family lost their home and belongings in the bombing, the Serbs practiced genocide against the Bosnians, and UN peacekeeping forces sent in to restore order proved unable to stop the violence.

His new comic, Fax From Sarajevo, is based on correspondence with a friend living through the atrocities of the former Yugoslavia, so it has plenty of great P.R. angles: Not only does it come from a veteran in the industry, but it's Based On A True Story, too.
In his more than 50 years of drawing comics, Kubert has illustrated the adventures of a number of conventional comics characters -- such as Batman, Hawkman and the Flash -- in a style that did the job but never broke any new ground.
Unfortunately, he draws Fax From Sarajevo on autopilot, ruining any dramatic impact it might've had.
