A timely satirical broadside on Israel’s genocidal campaign against Gaza by the most acclaimed comics journalist working today.

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 installments 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.

“With the exception of one or two novelists and poets, no one has ever rendered this terrible state of affairs better than Joe Sacco.” — EDWARD W. SAID

“Utilizing a masterful array of visual devices and employing consummate draftsmanship, Sacco details life in the Occupied Territories with sensitivity, insight, and a fine eye for moral ambiguities. Highly recommended.” — Alan Moore

"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

"Not an easy read, but an essential, necessary indictment of political systems, military aggression, and global and personal complicity." -Library Journal Starred Review

"A biting commentary..." -Kirkus Reviews
