	Joe Sacco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joe Sacco (born 1960) is a Maltese comics artist and journalist.
		Born in Malta, Sacco moved to the United States and studied journalism at the University of Oregon, graduating in 1981.
		Sacco next travelled to Sarajevo and Goražde near the end of the Bosnian War, and produced a series of reports in the same style as Palestine: the graphic novels Safe Area Goražde and The Fixer, and the stories collected in War's End.

	Joe Sacco: The Observer
		Joe Sacco is one of the cartoonists who shaped the comics scene in the 90s.
		If you combine this with the fact that Joe Sacco has a clear way of storytelling, and that his drawing style is fine rendered, it is understandable and justified that he was one of the cartoonists everybody was talking about in the 90s.
		I can say that Joe Sacco’s works on the Yugoslavian civil war were generally more methodical, systematic and readable then most of the works by artist or journalist from the Balkans who tried to deal with the same topics.

	Joe Sacco
		Sacco spent four months in Bosnia in 1995-1996, immersing himself in the human side of life during wartime, researching stories that are rarely found in conventional news coverage.
		Sacco's insightful reportage takes place at the front lines, where busy marketplaces are spoiled by shootings and tear gas, soldiers beat civilians with reckless abandon, and roadblocks go up before reporters can leave.
		Sacco interviewed and encountered prisoners, refugees, protesters, wounded children, farmers who had lost their land, and families who had been torn apart by the Palestinian conflict.

	Interview \| Joe Sacco
		This is perhaps Sacco's most valuable service: to spotlight the overlooked minutiae of oppression -- the humiliation, the tedium, and the inconveniences of all shapes and sizes -- in addition to the statistics-friendly horrors.
		For example, Sacco told me that drawings for his next book, set in Gaza, will include elements that can be hard to unite on camera, such as the swirling dust and airborne trash and swarming kids, which were crucial to the atmosphere of the place.
		Sacco reproduces the extraordinarily subtle nuances of facial expressions, and pulls off, again, something like a distillation: he seizes on the essence of a given expression, and slathers it onto a face.

		Serietecknaren och journalisten Joe Sacco besökte i lördags Tempo dokumentärfestival i Stockholm.
		Eftersom Joe Sacco arbetade utan att vara kontrakterad till någon tidning eller nyhetsbyrå var han själv tvungen att betala för resa och uppehälle.

	The Comics Journal: Interviews
		Sacco wanted to document the lives of people suffering in, as well as the politics behind, the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, during which, it is estimated, between 100,000 and more than 300,000 people died.
		Josep Broz Tito, a professional revolutionary and committed communist, who fought against the Germans, ruled Yugoslavia from 1945 to his death in 1980 and, through the adroit use of carrots and sticks -- "brotherhood and unity" was the ubiquitous slogan -- maintained the ethnicities in relative -- but fragile -- harmony.
		This is, effectively, where the war began, and it was the subsequent eight years that Joe Sacco tried to make some sense of in Gorazde.

	BBC - collective - joe sacco interview
		The book was three years in the writing and drawing and Sacco based his reportage around Neven, a hardened former sniper turned “fixer”, a man paid by foreign journalists to arrange whatever they need in order to file their daily copy.
		Sacco befriended Neven and was soon building a profile of the conflict and of the shadowy warlords pulling the strings behind it.
		Sacco is currently constructing his next book, based on his experiences in the Gaza Strip, which will doubtless propel him further into the literary and indeed journalistic stratosphere.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Interview: cartoonist Joe Sacco
		Joe Sacco pops up so often in his own comics, as a self-effacing, perplexed, desperate, funny, observational presence, that meeting him feels more like renewing an old acquaintance than encountering someone for the first time.
		Sacco uses cartooning to report on some of the big issues of our time but his particular gift is that he is never pompous or polemical.
		In it, we meet Sacco as long-haired dreaming artist, as seething traditionalist librarian, as unrequited lover, as hungover member of a punk rock band's road crew on tour in Europe in 1990.

		Scheu vor der komplexen Problematik hatte Joe Sacco nicht – schliesslich gibt es kein Thema, das sich nicht auf verantwortungsbewusste und adäquate Weise in Comics umsetzen liesse, und dennoch, findet Sacco, «gibt es noch immer zu wenig engagierte Comics, und zu wenig Comic-Autoren gehen journalistische und künstlerische Risiken ein.
		Unermüdlich wie eine Comic-Figur hatte sich Joe Sacco bereits in seine nächste Reportage gestürzt: Zwischen September 1995 und Februar 1996 hielt er sich in Bosnien auf.
		Was nach seinen Bosnien-Geschichten kommt, weiss Joe Sacco noch nicht.

	village voice > books > Joe Sacco's War's End: Profiles From Bosnia, 1995–1996 by Hillary Chute
		Yet Sacco, the innovator of contemporary comics journalism, effortlessly moves from humor to horror on his scrupulously drawn pages.
		Standing close to the war criminal, Sacco tries unsuccessfully to feel revulsion for "a man I have despised with all my heart for years." Less dark and cluttered than "Soba!," the story suggests the banality of evil while crucially eschewing a moral.
		Sacco, appropriately for one so riveted to intricate truth, can only note that chasing Karadzic made for his best Christmas in years.

	The Art of War
		Joe Sacco occupies a unique spot in the no-man’s-land between underground cartoonists and war correspondents.
		Sacco’s work is often called “comic journalism,” but that label doesn’t fully capture how he’s managed to simultaneously blend and defy both genres.
		The 44-year-old Sacco came to cartooning after a series of what he calls “half-assed” reporting jobs, but he isn’t after scoops: He looks for stories that will resonate long after the shooting has stopped and the ink on other reporters’ stories has dried.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Observer review: Palestine by Joe Sacco
		Sacco's eyewitness illustrations have attracted attention far beyond the twilight realm of the comic book and graphic novel.
		Although Palestine is both visually engaging and a labour of artistic love, at its heart lies a commitment to hard-edged journalism and a challenge to the objectivity of the Western (and particularly American) media: 'I came from the standpoint of "Palestinian equals terrorist".
		Approaching such daunting topics with a disreputable and supposedly juvenile medium may seem futile, even absurd, yet Sacco's greatest achievement is to have so poignantly depicted contradiction, oppression and horror in a form that manages to be both disarming and disquieting.

		Sacco spent two months during the winter of 1991-92 living in Jerusalem and visiting the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to see for himself what life was like for Palestinians under the Israeli occupation.
		I found Sacco's report -- which includes fact-rich vignettes about everything from life in the city, to life in the refugee camps, to life in prison (including a disturbing report on torture) -- to be accurate in both the facts and in capturing the subtleties of the local culture.
		Sacco's abilities as a journalist are excellent, speaking as someone who has lived in Israel, I must protest that the view he offers of the Arab-Israeli conflict is extremely one-sided.

	Perchè leggere Joe Sacco, Marco Pellitteri, Catalogo Joe Sacco-Nuvole da Oltre Frontiera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Torno su Sacco, e mi scuso per la digressione: ribadisco che se un'opera a fumetti riesce ad aprire gli occhi, a invitare a una migliore conoscenza, di sicuro il suo effetto è non solo positivo, ma soprattutto utilizza al meglio le tanto decantate, ma quasi mai davvero sfruttate, potenzialità del medium.
		Joe Sacco è diverso dai fumettisti "classici" proprio perché, in maniera pressoché inedita, si serve di una formula grafica per parlarci della cruda realtà, e lo fa non da narratore onnisciente - cosa che lo farebbe ricadere grottescamente all'interno della struttura romanzesca - bensì da testimone.
		Joe Sacco dunque mi pare un bravissimo narratore, e dei fatti di cui è testimone, e delle garbate interpretazioni - sia esplicite sia implicite, come risulta evidente dalle sue opere - che di tali fatti ha formulato.

		Central to the development of the personal comics genre at the turn of the nineties, and in YAHOO displaying passages of undisguised virtuosity, Sacco remained one of a crowd of promising cartoonists diligently seeking their voices.
		However, that sense of honesty is somewhat undermined by the recognition that the real Joe Sacco is the creator of the monumental work in which this mildly maladroit character appears.
		Sacco went on to produce another work of comics journalism in the same vein, SAFE AREA GORAZDE, concerning the breakup of Yugoslavia, and recently contributed artwork and reporting to a controversial article in HARPER'S alleging severe human rights abuses by Israeli military units or their allies.

		Sacco's fixer was Neven, a Bosnian Serb who loves his city and fought in one of the many ad hoc brigades that were assembled by charismatic men in the early days of the war before a real Bosnian army was established.
		Through Neven, Sacco tells the fragmentary tale of some of the more prominent warlords (almost all of whom were shady prewar characters), and of their sometimes heroic, sometimes despicable activities during the siege.
		As Sacco recounts, many of the "facts" surrounding various killings, atrocities, and profiteering by the warlords will forever remain obscured by the fog of war, and the need for politicians to wash their hands of those dirty times.

	Crimes Of War Project > Magazine > Safe Area Gorazde by Joe Sacco
		But in Gorazde as in other U.N. designated "safe areas", ethnic cleansing reached its murderous zenith, away from the attention of the media that was focused on Sarajevo, and without the help of NATO peace keepers' army, who never made it down the road from the capital.
		Sacco is at his best when he captures the individual features of a score of village characters and weaves interviews and flashbacks with fragments of his diary.
		As three and a half years of war and resistance unfold vividly before us, we are made to hear the victims' screams, but also the eerie silence of a town without cars.
